Christmas cards for aged Seattle people in Condorcet!

Vive la magie de Noël! Les élèves du collège Condorcet ont décidé d'apporter un peu de bonheur à des
personnes âgées outre atlantique. Il s'agit d'une maison de retraite de Seattle.

Afin de confectionner de jolies cartes, ils ont fait appel à leur professeur d'art, Mr Garnier qui les
a fait travailler sur un projet basé sur la gestion du hasard.

Puis nous avons travaillé ensemble sur la rédaction de leurs messages en anglais.

Les classes participantes ( 5èmes 1 et 2 puis les 6èmes 3&4 de Mme Morisseau) peuvent être fières
de leur implication et du résultat! Ils vous relatent ci-dessous le déroulement du projet et leur ressenti.
