Articles : school trip to the Somme

Here are copies of articles from the local newspaper about our school trip to the Somme and especially relevant places for New Zealand.

One article from the "Courrier picard" and a similar one from the "New Zealand Herald / Stratford Press".

 

It shows how important it is for the French and New Zealand local communities even if we are so distant !

 

Voici des extraits d'articles de la presse locale à propos de notre sortie dans la Somme, tout spécialement sur les lieux de mémoire...

Le lycée Gay Lussac

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxaUGt5Sdcs

Voici une présentation du Lycée par quelques élèves qui voulaient vous envoyer un petit message avant de partir en vacances d'été. Le lycée est vide en ce moment car tous les étudiants passent leurs examens donc l'ambiance est très studieuse mais ce n'est pas toujours aussi calme!!!

Some letters and this terrible telegram... Nos Fils Nos Familles

Fiona Hamilton

My great-great-great-grandfather was one of those out of many who gave his life in order to bring peace for later generations. Although I could not find many records of my great-great-great-grandfather I do have a few. I asked my grandmother if she had anything that could be of help for this report and she sent me a box that my great-great-great- grandfather’s sister kept during The Great War. Although there is only two letters in the box I also found the death telegram for my great-great-great...

Nos Fils Nos Familles Project at Epsom Girls

Year 10 French

From Year 9 to Year 13, we have integrated components of the WW1 Commemoration project into our curriculum and assessment.  Year 10 students have just completed a cultural project where they have explored the historical links between New Zealand and France through a RAFTS assignment. Several of the girls researched a soldier who was a relative and explored through family history his life before and after the war.  Then they responded with a product of some sort.

Following this post we feature...

Nos Fils Nos Familles: Le paquet est arrivé! Un grand merci!

Anne and Maria

Greetings to our friends in Chauny.

It was with great pleasure that I found in my pigeon hole yesterday morning a package with noticeably French writing on the label.  The French staff opened it with anticipation and pleasure.  Inside we found four group projects and some brochures on visits and sites in the Chauny area related to our project and to our pending trip, a thoughtful gift for our history teacher, Marsha, who is on maternity leave, a packet of bleuet seeds, and a card with kind...

Remembrance on behalf gives trip another dimension




 

 

Juin 2014 - Extrait de la lettre de Siham (Fr) à Margaret (NZ):






“….Nicolas and I just wanted to tell you that our school trip to the "Somme" battlefields and cemeteries went alright and that the students looked for the NZ soldiers on the" missing wall".

I think they finally realised what our partnership consisted in.

It was crystal clear when they had to put a "homemade" poppy next to the names, in fact our twelve-year-old students took part in the project by...

Nos fils nos familles: Petit message à EGGS !

Notre groupe devant le glaive du sacrifice

Bonjour à nos amis d'EPSOM GIRLS SCHOOL ! La semaine dernière nous sommes allés visiter avec nos professeurs le cimetière militaire de CHAUNY sous la pluie..pour comprendre la raison pour laquelle sont enterrés en Picardie , dans notre ville, des militaires britanniques, australiens, français et allemands dans ce lieu. Il est très rare de trouver des soldats de toutes ces nationalités enterrés dans le même cimetière. Nous avons pu observer les différences entre les tombes et les manières...
