🎪 Circus Trip, Cinema & Gifts – Eurécape
All primary school pupils enjoyed a truly special morning under the big top of the Cirque Pinder. Thanks to Eurécape, Eurécole’s parents’ association, students were treated to a spectacular show filled with breathtaking acrobatics and impressive performances.
Meanwhile, middle school students enjoyed a cinema outing, also organised by Eurécape, offering them a fun and enriching cultural experience.
A big thank you to Mr Larry, President of Eurécape, for organising this magical day, visiting the classrooms as Santa Claus, and distributing gifts to all primary school pupils, generously donated by one of Eurécole’s mums.
🧑🏻🔬Science Week in Middle School
Middle school students explored the fascinating world of science through a range of laboratory workshops in physics, chemistry, biology (SVT), and technology. These hands-on activities were complemented by cultural outings to a museum and to the Cité de l’Économie, helping students connect classroom learning with the real world.
🌎 Cultural Trips & Embassies
🕊️ UNESCO – CE1
Students took part in an educational visit to UNESCO, where they learned about the organisation’s mission to promote peace, international cooperation, and sustainable development. They explored the garden, the Peace Wall, and the olive tree, a universal symbol of dialogue and respect.
🇦🇹Austrian Embassy
Students discovered Austrian cuisine and culture, took part in an interactive quiz, and created drawings inspired by Saint Nikolas and Krampus.
🇲🇽 Mexican Embassy – Día de los Muertos (CM1)
Students explored the traditions of Día de los Muertos, learning about Mexican history and customs. Through an immersive and playful experience, they discovered the importance of remembrance and paying tribute to ancestors.
🏛️ Maison de l’Amérique Latine (CM2)
An exhibition on gold organised by the Colombian Embassy offered students a deep dive into Latin American history and culture. This visit broadened their understanding of Latin America and opened new perspectives on past civilisations.

🌱 Educational Projects
💛Anti-Bullying Initiative
CP and CE1 students took part in a workshop led by the association Marion la Main Tendue, focusing on self-confidence, listening skills, and respect among classmates. The workshop encouraged children to reflect on their behaviour and provided them with tools to improve daily life together at school.
🌊 Ocean Conservation Project (CM1)
Our two CM1 classes are taking part in the L’Océan à l’École programme, an educational kit dedicated to learning about and protecting the ocean.
The project is supported by two inspiring ambassadors: Chloé and Matthieu Witvoet from Swim for Change, who began swimming across the Atlantic in November 2025. An extraordinary challenge that students will follow throughout the year.
🎉 Celebrations & Events
🎄Christmas at Eurécole: Decorations, Solidarity & Sharing
As the holidays approached, students decorated the school Christmas tree together: a joyful collective moment that helped create a warm and festive atmosphere.
In the same spirit of generosity, students prepared solidarity boxes as part of the Love in a Box – Christmas Edition project. These boxes, intended for children in need, contained gloves, hats, scarves, pencils, books, and sweets, and will be distributed by the association La Main de l’Autre.
All students also wrote letters to residents of nursing homes (Ehpad), sending their best wishes and messages of warmth during the festive season. These initiatives allowed children to fully experience the spirit of Christmas through kindness and sharing.
🇬🇧 English workshop
During Wednesday afternoon English workshops, students took part in a Christmas-themed creative activity. They made beautiful stained-glass decorations and illuminated vases, adding an artistic and festive touch to the school’s Christmas décor.
🦃 Thanksgiving
Students celebrated Thanksgiving by learning about the history of this American holiday and its traditions. They took part in activities centred on sharing, danced together, expressed what they are thankful for, and enjoyed delicious treats prepared for the occasion and generously offered by a Eurécape mum.
🏮German Lanterns
As part of their German lessons, students created beautiful lanterns that later lit up the school. Both kindergarten and primary students enthusiastically took part in this German tradition, combining creativity, light, and festive spirit.
🎅 Nikolaus
To celebrate Nikolaus, students discovered the legend of Saint Nicholas and the traditions associated with this celebration in German-speaking countries. A warm and festive atmosphere delighted the children throughout the day.
🦈 Aquarium Trip – CP
CP students enjoyed a fun and enriching trip to the aquarium. They observed many marine species, learned about their habitats, and gained a better understanding of the importance of protecting our oceans.
