We live in the North East of France. We go to school at Velaine, a village near Nancy. There are classes of CE2 (8 to 9 years old) and CM1 (9 to 10 years old). We are 30 in each class. We start school at 8.50 am until 11.50 am and during the afternoon, from 1.50 pm to 16.50 pm. Our school is part of a group that includes 3 other schools :
Champenoux with the playschool who are 2 to 5 years old and the CP-CE1 who are 6 to 7 years old.
Cerville with the CP and CE1.
Lanevelotte with the CM2 who are 10 to 11 years old.
In our class, there are 2 computers, 2 boards, Dans notre classe, il y a 2 ordinateurs, 2 tableaux aimantés, 1 big television, 1 music player and a small library. There are 17 CE2 and 13 CM1. In total, there are 10 girls and 20 boys.
We have 7 responsibilities : the boards and the brushes to wash, the rubish bin to empty, the phasms to feed, the mail to distribute, the class notebook to fill in, the meteo to type on the computer, the library to clean and the pupils’ notebooks to distribute.
We are doing « what’s new », « empty your pocket », « presentations » and « press reviews ». « What’s new » is when pupils give information on current news. « Empty your pocket » is when someone brings in an object that he wants to show to the other pupils. « Presentations » is when we give information on a subject. « Press reviews » is when we present an article from a newspaper.

After every vacation, when we come back to school, we choose our own seats. The school is big, but the playground is small. We have a library in each class. We have a big chalkboard, a medium one and also a small one.
