Cliffs Experience is French lesson

The students and teachers from Calais on the steps of the White Cliffs Experience

    "C'EST si bon'" That was the verdict of a group of Calais schoolchildren who visited the White Cliffs Experience during a two-day visit to Dover.
    The students were accompanied by three teachers, Catherine Macquet, M Dussautoir and M Leclerc, from the College St Pierre.
    They were taking part in the latest exchange visit with the Dover Boys' Grammar School, whose second year pupils make regular visits to the French school.
    The visitors had lunch at the boys' school before joining in the classwork with their English hosts.
    They drew portraits, created computer graphics, composed and performed radiophonic music and fashioned metal and plastic into individualised key fobs.
    "These exchanges are highly successful," said grammar school head Neil Slater.
    "We have even more ambitious proposals for next year when we intend to extend our French connection by promoting geographical project work in the Pas de Calais alongside the language study."
