PARTNERSHIP WITH GERMANY
De La Salle is currently working on a new partnership with Germany with The Humanistisches Greifenstein Gymnasium Thum, in Thum, Germany. Thum is a small town located in the north west of Germany.
Our first contact was established through e-twinning in October 2009. We are hoping to establish joint-curriculum projects and exchanges invovling both our pupils and staff.
Our pupils are currently working on a letter exchange project with the German pupils and we have now received introductory letters from Thum.
For more information about the development of the partnership, please contact Miss Boureda and Mrs Utton.

WORLD BOOK DAY

During the course of World Book Day (4th March), Year 7 pupils have written short adaptations of the world famous French fairy tale Le Petit Chaperon Rouge (Little Red Riding Hood). The best fairy tales have now been selected and will be recorded. The audio resource will be sent to our partner schools in France, Spain, Germany and China and will be made available to pupils to support their learning of the English language.
I would like to thank Amelia Harris, Danielle Mountford, Becky Allen, Mariel Mollagso, Ross Murray, Abigail Hodnett, Molly Pashley and Sophie Barrett for writing and recording the stories.
If you want to find out more about this project and how to get involved in international projects, speak to Miss Boureda.
