School trips are unique experiences for children. These out-of-school trips are a welcome change from the routine, offering enriching moments out of the ordinary.
However, younger children may be a little afraid to leave the reassuring confines of home and school for a few days. This video by Maître Lucas is aimed at children in CP, CE 1 & 2 and CM 1 & 2, to explain the basics of preparing for such a trip.
They'll need to prepare their suitcases carefully with their parents, so that they have appropriate clothing for the different types of weather, a hygiene kit and other items as decreed by the teacher. They are reminded that, even without their loved ones, there is still a framework of adults present, usually the teacher and activity leaders. They will be there to manage both activities and any problems that may arise.
This period is a good way for the younger children to acquire autonomy by having to pick themselves up, bring the things they need, and so on. In addition, everyone learns how to manage their privacy, and how to change in a respectful manner, with places to do so out of sight.

When cities learn from their residents
Living in a city means gradually making it your own, knowing shortcuts, transport arrangements, timetables, rules of behavior, and precautions to limit the risks of aggression. But what if this knowledge gradually becomes obsolete? Indeed, thanks to Big Data and artificial intelligence, cities are "learning" and adapting to the habits of their inhabitants...
Worn out perhaps, but not obsolete at 65
Even when we're worn out, we can still be appreciated and, above all, not at all obsolete. Retirement brings changes in status, relationships and activities, with all the uncertainties and doubts about our ability to cope. While we can't do much about wear and tear, we can fortunately intervene successfully against obsolescence, which has nothing to do with age.
Is translanguaging a valid pedagogical model?
Learning another language in a context where its use is a minority is not easy. Whether it is Welsh in Britain, Basque in Spain or French in Canada, the courses given do not necessarily lead to greater use of the language. What if mainstream language was used in learning rather than immersion?
