The Breton patterns






The pupils drew Breton patterns that they found in books of Breton tissues and clothes.

It turns, turns with the wind ....





The youngest pupils enjoyed making reels and the oldest weathercocks. All of them turned well because we've got a lot of wind in Brittany !!

The Day of the Kings (6th January) in France

In France we eat the "Galette des Rois": it's made with two flaky pastry and between them we put almond paste and a charm of course!
The one who gets the charm receives a crown, chooses a queen (or a king if it's a girl!) and gives the crown to the queen (or king).

So it is! At school, they eat the 'galette' and create some crowns and decorate some 'galettes'.
