Hello everybody, Are there chess lovers? Who wants to play with me ? I’m 10 years old, I’m in CM2 (SVI) at Anatole de Monzie. I have a beginner level, I started to learn in France, in my family, then in Thailand with Eli, an American who lives there.
I discover the multiple possibilities of the Knight. The Knight is important because he can move in all directions. It is strategic in this game but others like the Pawn, Bishop, Queen, etc are also fun to play.
The combinations of this game are multiple and sometimes look like real life! It’s very funny.
I really want to continue learning this game, preferably in English. Maybe some of my friends at school would like to learn playing?

Josephine wrote this poem last year as the 10th grader. The goal was then to present a place in the world with which students have a close connection. Josephine was born in London and spent her first 8 years in the big city. She remains fond of London. Her poem shows it very sensitively …

Alexander, our American assistant, presented how he likes to celebrate Halloween and talked about the origins of this celebration,
3rd graders and 4th graders (CE2 & CM1) played a Halloween bingo and could win small prize (play on a computer, decorate a pumpkin, do a Halloween colouring, read and… candies of course)
Happy holidays and a happy Halloween to all of you!
In our school, we gather before each holidays for so called « Bavardages du mois ». It’s a kind of Assembly. Each class presents a reading or an activity done during the period : fencing, a visit in Nantes, circus, how to grow plants etc. The pupils from the 3 SVI classes presented poems (Back to school poems and Halloween poems)
Rose and Josephine’s hopes for the future of our society
Rose Le Meur and Josephine Gibert are both 11-graders at Nelson-Mandela. Last year, they recorded a speech in response to the question posed by the EF Challenge committee:
“WHAT ARE YOUR HOPES FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR SOCIETY? »
The EF Challenge is a high school speech competition offering students from around the globe the chance to win a dream trip to New York.
From the 28th of September to the 1st of October, 13 junior OIB students from Nelson-Mandela had the opportunity to participate in the Global Summit organized by Charles Wright Academy in Tacoma (Washington, USA).
Celebrating its twelfth year, the Global Summit is a 10-day program designed to promote peace and social justice by bringing the visiting students to develop their understanding of the concepts of universal human rights, justice, fair trade and sustainable lifestyles, and by demonstrating how the choices that each of us makes every day can impact the world. During the summit, the various speakers, the several field trips, and discussions galore aimed at introducing the participants to a thinking mode that values connections, the worth and dignity of all people and universal human needs and rights.
Over these 10 days, we lived with host families and students from Charles Wright Academy, which was an incredible opportunity for us to be immersed in American culture and discover the American way of life. Overall, this trip was very fulfilling and intense and allowed us to learn much more than in any purely academic way. It is a human experience that we will never forget! Incredible friendships were born from this exchange, between the students and theirs hosts but also between the different students from the international delegations present at the Summit (Colombia, Poland, France, USA). An essential step on our SIA journey, this trip helped us to better understand American culture, progress in English but also brought us closer within our class. We hope everyone will get the chance to experience such a life-changing trip!
