Did Winston Churchill pop into Mary's English class on Wednesday afternoon?
Or was it student Jacquy Fils, with a cigar?
You decide!
Then head over to Students' Corner to read a very interesting presentation of Churchill's life, made by another student.
Once again, Mary's class has been celebrating in style!
The students seem to enjoy eating a lot...although I'm sure they enjoy doing grammar exercises just as much 😉
Read about all the delicious fun on Students' Corner!
Winston Churchill was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom twice! But he was also a writer, a painter and a man of great wit...
If you want to learn more about him then come along to the lecture at the UIAD on Friday 24th January, which is the 60th anniversary of his death.
Details on the flyer below.
We had a lot of fun at the Christmas party🎄
Thank you to Pierre Grange and Nicole Morel for the photos and videos that you can see on Students' Corner.
See you next year!
Here are two opportunities to sing Christmas Carols in English...and indulge in mince pies and mulled wine as well!
This year marks the 120th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale and there is an exhibition on the first floor in Belmont where you can see photos and newspaper articles about it.
This term Entente Cordiale comes from a letter written in 1843 by the British Foreign Secretary, Lord Aberdeen. It’s a significant improvement in Anglo-French relations because it marked the end of almost a thousand years of intermittent conflict between the two states. The change had its roots in a British loss of confidence after the Second Boer War and a growing fear of the strength of Germany.
The divergent interests of the two colonial powers (Fashoda’s incidents and the Russo-Japanese war) could have put an end to the negotiations between the two countries but after an agreement on colonial matters, a convention was signed on 8 April 1904 and transformed into an Alliance in 1914.
The exhibition runs until mid-December, so you still have plenty of time to take a look!
Tonight, people in Great Britain will be lighting bonfires and setting off fireworks commemorating the failure of the Gunpowder Plot in 16...
