Immerse yourself into painting with the 6th graders.
“Painting is silent poetry” – Plutarch, Moralia – How to study poetry
La Troupe theater club provides Middle School students with the opportunity to prepare, year round, a play which they will perform at the Dallas festival in May 2017!
“Every Wednesday, students warm up their body, mind and voice! Body Percussions enable each student to tune up to the others, using their body as a tool instrument: creativity, listening to others and flexibility are required to set oneself in resonance with the group.
Last Wednesday, students practiced a “ZipBamPang” routine. In this fun exercise, a ball of energy is passed around the group circle: you can accept it, refuse it or direct it to another person using specific coded gestures. It is all about intense focus and listening to others.
Now, body, mind, voice, we are ready to move on to learn acting techniques. It is time to learn how to walk and use the space around us!
We also practice collective improvisation, or we work on our voice.
See you next week!”

Ce vendredi 8 septembre, les élèves de 8ème ont démontré géométriquement le théorème de Pythagore en arrangeant astucieusement les pièces d’un puzzle construit par leurs soins.
En découpant le carré (en vert) formé par le plus grand côté adjacent à l’angle droit du triangle rectangle et en le disposant astucieusement avec le carré (en jaune) formé par le plus petit côté, ils ont pu créer un troisième carré de longueur l’hypoténuse du triangle rectangle.
La somme de l’aire des deux carrés formés par les côtés adjacents à l’angle droit est alors égale à l’aire du carré formé par l’hypoténuse.
Ingénieux, n’est-ce pas?
Bienvenue à Jade, Amaia, Diego, Pablo, Philippine, Dante, Tanguy, Arthur et Anouk. Natasha, nous ne te trouvions pas à la récré: alors, tu as ta photo spéciale!

Bonne année scolaire à tous les élèves du collège!
