A crocodile in Martinique

A myth has come true.

Some years ago rumors about the presence of a crocodile spread in Martinique and yesterday, in the helicopter, my team and I have seen it next to the river Lézarde in Lamentin and we took a photo. We saw the crocodile walking in the grass. We took measures and it is three meters long. We don't know if it is the only one or if there are others but I think it can be a threat to the population of Martinique. The inhabitants must be cautious in the zone. According to me it must be caught and it would probably be sent to the zoo of Carbet for the security of the inhabitants.

Seconde students visiting Somme, North of France

      We left Martinique, Fort-deFrance Airport Aimé Césaire, yesterday at 8:30 pm, for The town of Friville-Escarbotin, in Picardie. We got there the following day at 7:30 pm. 

      Our trip project is a Comenius one called 'L'Europe se jette à l'eau'. Mrs De Chavigny is the teacher in charge. She teaches history and geography. The other countries concerned by the project are Poland, Rumania, Spain (Canaries), Greece. 

 One of us will regularly report about the visit and activities of the day.

DAY 1 report by Guy M., 2nd 3

I woke up at 7 in the morning. The teachers, the other pupils and I went to have breakfast, which was very good.
After breakfast, we took the bus with students from various countries associated with the project: Greece, Roumania, Poland, Canary islands in Spain. 

We went to Vimeu high school in Friville-Escarbotin, a town in the department of Somme, North of France. We visited the different parts of the school, then we paid a visit to the premisses of the DELABIE Company which is a manufacture of taps selling to schools, hospitals, airports all over the world including Dubaï or Hong-kong. 

There was a presentation of the company by the managing Director, followed up by a very good visit with his son as a guide.
Then we went back to the high school to have lunch. At three o'clock in the afternoon, we  had to practice special activities of integration in groups. 

Finally, we took the bus at 6:30 pm to return to the hotel.

DAY 2 report by Anaïs B., 1ère ES

Hello everybody!

Today, we have spent a very nice day and discovered a lot of things never seen in Martinique.

We went rowing on the River Somme in canoes with students from Greece. During this day-trip, we had seen seals and  a wave called 'breaker' coming just before the high tide.

We had lunch in a restaurant on the river bank, then we went to participate in a rally in the old town with groups composed of the students of each country.

The teachers from all over Europe.

At high tide, the water reaches the top steps.

DAY 3 by Yann E., 2nde 1

We visited the 'Château d'Eu': it's beautifully decorated and in the garden 'à la française', there are a lot of different rose-trees I liked.Then we visited a gothic cathedral from the 13th century just opposite the castle of Eu. At 12:00 am, we took the funicular cabin to get to the restaurant at the top of the white cliffs in the town called Le Tréport. We made a lot of photos. I didn't like the meal : shrimps then spaghetti Bolognese. 

In the afternoon, we had a swim at the pool with a great champion from Abbeville, a town next to Friville-Escarbotin : Jérémy Stravius who was a pupil at Vimeu high School. We were impressed to see how fast he could swim.

Later, we went back to his school where the teachers who received the Comenius project had organised the inauguration of a new Lecture Hall named after this great champion. 

The 27-year-old mayor of the town of Friville was present the whole afternoon. He was elected when he was 20.We gave him a bottle of old rum brought from Martinique and we received a tourist guide of Picardie which will soon be attached to the region of Nord-Pas de Calais. 

After several speeches and exchange of gifts, we had a drink and toasts, then we went to change in the hotel in order to have dinner and go dancing at the Casino in Cayeux-Sur-Mer.

DAY 4 by Elodie T.,2nd 1

We visited The SNSN (Société National de Sauvetage en Mer) of Le Crotoy. A CROSS* rescuer of Gris-nez, spoke about his job which is a water job. Subsequently, we discovered the reproduction of the sailboat : Benoit Champy and a little museum of the sea. 

At noon, we ate in a small restaurant in the city and we took the train to meet a shrimper who explained us his job and the way to catch shrimps in a special net. 

To finish, divided in 4 teams, we had to make a drawing referring to water in the sand. We were allowed to take everything around us except plants.
And so, we're had the power to represent our country in the drawing. 

This experiment was very interesting !

Saturday, April 25th 2015

The trip is over. 
We traveled all day to go back home. We had to go to Paris to return to Martinique.
We had taken the train in Amiens to Paris, then the subway in Gare du Nord for The Place Of Italy (Place d'Italie) and from there to Villejuif.
Finally, we took the tramway to arrive at our hotel.

From this hotel at night we went to a great mall. We were excited because we went to the shopping center at 8:00 pm, then we went back to the hotel to sleep.

My Carnival holidays

I am going to tell you about my carnival holidays.

First of all, there was my family which was on holiday here; Thus, the first days, I was able to show them the island, the places that I adored as the restaurant 'Ti-Sable', or the beautiful beaches of the South.

I did my homework and some revisions to make a good comeback.

I went to the Carnival on the first Sunday. I went to Fort-de-France with my family and my boy-friend, it was fabulous.The parade was very well then I was able to jump and dance in the streets behind the street-bands. I was dressed in a multicolored costume given that it was the dress code for the day.  Everybody had fancy dress costumes.

I returned to Fort-de-France on Ash Wednesday with my best friend who was also on holiday here but who lives in Italy all year long. I enjoyed myself a lot. It was fun! I was dressed in black and white like everyone because it was the last day of the king of Carnival and we had to pay him tribute.

I was also at the cinema, I saw "The Aries Family" (The French name is 'La Famille Bélier' ); it was a very beautiful story.

I have done two trips by boat : the first one in the East, the departure was in François. It was on an islet. For the second one, we had rented a boat for the day with my family, to go to the West coast. We went up to the Diamond  Rock ('Diamant' is the name of the town nearby) and we visited the various bays : Black creek (Anse Noire), Dufour creek (Anse Dufour). It was great!

I had incredible holidays, unfortunately too short. I look forward to the next ones.

  The new year in Asia was celebrated on February 19th, this year. It is the year of the goat.   New year  is the most important festival in the Asian world. It is celebrated during several days and many events can be seen.  The goat is much represented on cakes, drawings and in the streets.

This year, we chose a king of carnival representing sargasso because our beaches have been invaded by tons of sargasso seaweeds.
