French Schools Events: Levels


Figure 1.--This is one of the resentations at a 2012 Fête de fin d'année à l'école. These boys are doing a dance as part of hat looks like an international theme event. The boys drew Scotland. We are not sure if this is a maternelle or a first year primary. The reader who sent us this image tells us, "This was a Maternelle. The boys are about to graduate to 1st grade. 

We have only limited information on events at the the different types of French schools. We do have some information on maternelles for the younger children. We do not yet have much information on the older children. The age of the children and the school level affect the types of special events orgnized at the schools. We think the end of school events at primary schools were similar to those at maternelles, epecially for the younger children. Of course as the children get older, there ismore tghey are capble of doing, including skits, recitations, singing, dancing and much more. More emphasis can be given to idividual performances. We are not sure , however, what these ceremonies were like at the secondaty level. They may hav been more limited to ceremonies like prize giving for the students achievements. Hopefully our French readers will provide us some accounts of their school experiences.
