Depuis 2005, le collège Pierre de Coubertin organise un échange avec la Wimbledon High School. Même si c’est une école de filles, les garçons du collège sont reçus par les famille anglaises et peuvent accueillir une correspondante. Cet échange est destiné aux élèves de 4è.

Chaque année, les élèves anglaises nous rendent visite pendant une semaine et nous nous rendons en Angleterre pendant 10 jours. Vous pourrez consulter les articles de la rubrique pour vous informer sur les sorties et visites de l’année 2008, lors de notre séjour.

Cet échange ne devrait être que le point de départ d’un échange plus durable entre les élèves français et anglais. Nous avons parfois des nouvelles de nos anciens élèves qui ont gardé contact. Mais bien souvent, nous ne savons rien des suites de l’échange.

Cet article est donc destiné à tous ceux qui ont participé et souhaitent laisser un commentaire ou donner des nouvelles.

Since 2005, a school exchange takes place every year between Le Collège Pierre de Coubertin in Chevreuse and Wimbledon High School.

Of course, this should only be the beginning of a long-term relationship between exchange-partners. Most of the time though, we don’t know anything about the continuation of the exchange.

If you took part and want to give us news, this article is just for you.

Ruppert bear is a children’s comic strip character who features in a series of books based around his adventures. The character was created by the English artist Mary Tourtel and first appeared in the Daily Express on 8 November 1920. Rupert’s initial purpose was to grab sales from the rival Daily Mail and Daily Mirror. Since then he has become significant to children’s culture in the United Kingdom. In 1935 the mantle of Rupert artist and storyteller was taken over by Alfred Bestall, who was previously an illustrator for Punch and other glossy magazines. Bestall proved to be successful in the field of children’s literature and worked on Rupert stories and artwork into his 90s. Since then various other artists and writers have continued the series, which still runs to this day.

Most of the characters in the series are anthropomorphic (animals with humanoid forms); for instance, Rupert himself is a humanoid bear and his best friend Bill is a humanoid badger. Rupert’s pals include both an elephant (Edward Trunk) and a mouse (Willie) who are both scaled to be about the same size as Rupert and Bill. There are also a few human characters in the stories, such as the Professor (who lives in a castle with his servant), Tiger Lily (a Chinese girl) and less frequently occurring characters such as Sailor Sam, Captain Binnacle and Rollo, the Gypsy boy.

The series often features fantastic and magical adventures in faraway lands. The comic strip was, and still is, published daily in the newspaper, with many of these stories later being printed in books, and every year since 1936 a Rupert annual has also been released.

The success of the Rupert series has led to the creation of several television series based on the character. It also has a large fan following, with such groups as The Followers of Rupert.

is the other ranks’ nickname for junior officers in the British Army, as Rupert Bear is thought to epitomise traditional public school values.

For the second year, our year 8 students and some year 9 students communicate with some English students of Dinnington Comprehensive School in South Yorkshire. The e-mail exchange was not going so well. That’s why we decided to use postal mail and send different documents such as photos, drawings… The pupils are delighted to get mail and to answer. Many thanks to my English colleague, Will, who does a great job!

Pour la deuxième année consécutive, nous avons poursuivi notre échange avec la Dinnington Comprehensive School, dans le Yorkshire.

Comme l’échange d’e-mails ne fonctionnait pas aussi bien que nous le souhaitions, nous avons décidé de poursuivre par un échange de courrier postal. Et ça fonctionne beaucoup mieux! Les élèves sont ravis de recevoir du courrier accompagné parfois de dessins ou photos et ils y répondent avec enthousiasme.

Un grand merci à mon collègue anglais, Will, qui fait un travail formidable!
