JOURNEE EUROPEENNE DES LANGUES VIVANTES

Lors de la journée de pré-rentrée consacrée au RESPECT et à la PERSEVERENCE ; les élèves du collège Beauséjour ont vu le 3ème épisode du film documentaire : « Sur le chemin de l’école ».

Nos élèves ont pris conscience du COURAGE et de la DETERMINATION de ces quatre enfants héroïques et de leurs parents acteurs du film.

Les élèves de la 3ème 2, dans le cadre de leur cours d’anglais avec Mme Claveau, ont élaboré le texte qui suit…

Profitons de la journée internationale des langues vivantes pour rendre hommage à ces enfants-acteurs ainsi qu’à nos élèves-écrivains !

« Sur le chemin de l’école » is a documentary by Pascal PLISSON. 

It tells us about the difficulties that some children have to cope with to go to school. We follow the experiences of four teenagers : Samuel ((and his two brothers ; Zahira ,her sister and a friend of hers ; Jackson and his sister ; Carlos and his sister, Micaela. 

They take one to four hours (Zahira) to go to school. It’s a very long, difficult and dangerous road to school for those children. For example, there are elephants on Jackson’s road to school. The teacher even thanks God when there are no accidents. Carlos and his sister can fall as well because they ride along a slope. Samuel  is in a wheelchair and his two brothers help him to go to school because he is disabled.

Those difficulties do not discourage them.  It is the only way for them to get education and get out of poverty to be able to fulfill their dreams or help people who are in identical situations. Jackson wants to be a pilot. Carlos wants to become a vet. Samuel wants to be a doctor like Zahira ; this latter also wants to help girls to study. 

            In our opinion, these teenagers are very brave. They are poorer than us : there is no public transportation or school bus, their schools don’t have as many equipments as our schools have. They are always motivated even if they risk their lives. 

They never complain. 

They keep going whatever the difficulties. 

ABOUT LANGUAGES DAY IN BEAUSEJOUR HIGH SCHOOL

THURSDAY MARCH 30ST

   Dans le cadre de la Semaine des Langues du 27 Mars au 31 Mars 2023, le Collège Beauséjour de la cité Scolaire Frantz Fanon a organisé une Matinée Découverte à destination des élèves de 5è, 5è Segpa et 4è Segpa.  Ils étaient encadrés par différents élèves de 3è Générale tous volontaires pour accompagner leurs camarades, mais aussi et surtout animer certains ateliers en autonomie.  

En effet,six ateliers étaient proposés :

– un atelier autour du créole et de ses traditions culinaires et artistiques, animé par Mme Alingery :GloryéKréyol

– l’atelier Vamos a Jugar, pour découvrir l’espagnol avec des jeux (questions, jeux de l’oie) ; animé par Lou (3è1), Maël, Saraneet deux autres élèves de 4è Segpa, animation rendue possible grâce à l’apprentissage amont fait par Mme Melkior, dans le cadre de son projet de mise en place de cours d’espagnol en classe de Segpa ; 

– l’atelier International Greetings permettait d’apprendre les salutations dans différentes langues : Anglais, Letton, Allemand, Portugais, Turc. Il était animé par Louise, Ethan(3è3) et Torres (3è2). Ces langues ne furent pas choisies au hasard : elles représentent les pays partenaires du projet Let’s Go Green en cours dans l’établissement.  

-C’est ce projet qui a nourri le 4ème atelier – Let’s Go Green– autour d’une exposition et d’un quizz s’y référant, animé par Morgane et Oscar de 3è3, également élèves de Section Euro Anglais. 

Les deux derniers ateliers permettaient de manipuler la langue anglaise tout en dessinant (DrawWithMe avecNathan et Crystale) ou en découvrant des personnalités ou personnages du monde anglophone (Fun with English), animé par Mme Marchal et Tessa (3è3). 

Ce fut intéressant pour les élèves de 3ème d’apprendre la responsabilité et l’autonomie. Cela a permis à certains d’enrichir leurs connaissances, et à d’autres de développer des compétences sociales : savoir encadrer et intéresser ses pairs, faire preuve de clarté, user de l’autorité à bon escient, s’adapter à toutes les situations en restant diplomate et patient. 

Au final, grâce à la mixité des niveaux et publics, les élèves auront beaucoup appris au travers de cette journée que ce soit en termes de savoirs ou de savoir-être.

Nos scientifiques Gilyann, Océane et Teyssa ont présenté un exposé instructif sur le volcan puis réalisé une expérimentation spectaculaire grâce à leur remarquable maquette. Ce fut une séance interactive de qualité avec les élèves de 5eme en cours de SVT.

Victor interviews Tudor Spantu, a student from Romania who took part in an Erasmus project in January

On the occasion of Erasmus project of the highschool, two of our students had the opportunity to host foreign students. They took advantage to ask them some questions:

 

Student: Does this travel have precise objectives?

Tudor Spanţu : Yes, we come here first of all to learn about different cultures, to improve our english, our socializing skills, obviously to have a good time and also to do some photographies. Indeed, our sojourn is also a one-week photography seminary here in Martinique.

 

S.: Did you have a special preparation before coming?

T.S: Not a big one, but yes. For example, we had to prepare some presentation of our country and our city. We also had to take some traditional foods from our countries for a food tasting. The teachers also explained us what were the objectives of this travelling.

 

S.: Is it the first time that your school is part of an Erasmus project?

T.S: No, definitely not. They had many in the past, and they will have many more in the future.

 

S.: What are your impressions about the Erasmus project in general?

T.S: I think it’s an amazing idea because this exchange allow people to go to strangers’ house learn about the strangers’ culture, become friends but also, the strangers who discover a new country they come back a new person, full of knowledge and experience, They live a week in a totally different culture, so they change and learn a lot. I’m greatful to this project to let people having this wonderful experience.

 

S.: Do you come here with a spirit of working, just to have fun or both ?

T.S: Let’s say 70% working and 30% having fun. I mean you can’t go to Martinique and not have a good time (Laughing). It is mainly work but pleasurable work and also some funny moments.

 

S.: Do you think that a week in a foreign country can change someone’s mind ?

T.S.: Yes, totally ! I think this the whole idea behind Erasmus project. The thing is they can only bring a few people, but then those people go back home with a lot of new ideas, perspectives they gain during their travel and share it with everybody else.

 

 

 

 

S.: What do you think about Martinique?

T.S: Before, I did not know this island, but I’m surprised. The landscapes, the vegetation everything is beautiful ! And first of all, the atmosphere looks relax, but people always think with a purpose. So it’s just amazing !!!

 

S.: Can you tell us a few words about your country, Romania?

T.S: I think it’s nicer than you think it is. Because Romania is too “forgotten”, too less known.

 

 

S.: Is it only Romania that is forgotten or all of this part of the world ?

T.S : I think that Eastern Europe is not that well-known, and a lot of people have many well-shaped ideas about this part of the world that are totally false and fool.

 

  1. : Do you think that if everybody had the opportunity to travel to a foreign country the world could go better ?

T.So : Yes, absolutely ! I mean most of the problem that we have in today’s world are based on false ideas that we have about people that are not true at all, as I said before. So, if the people that have these stupidly-based ideas can meet someone that they have this fool idea about, they will see that it is definitely not as they think it is. We’re all different, but we’re all humans, you know !

 

  1. : Thank you for your interesting answers !

T.S : Thank you for your interview !

EUROPEAN STUDENTS CAPTURE THE BEAUTY OF MARTINIQUE

On the occasion of the Erasmus project, a photography exhibition took place at the town hall of Trinité. The great opportunity to rediscover our island with another point of view. The three categories nature, portrait and macro allowed us to see the whole landscape, from the microscopic to the gigantic. Those photos showed us the beauty of our country and gave me another time the wish to find the hidden treasures of Martinique. From wild nature to portrait in the city, the pictures were varied but always attractive. This temporary exhibition was pleasant and brilliant, everybody should see it !
