In which Sapphire and Ezio go on a field trip

It's going to be a short post today, because I'm doing my first English lesson in 20 minutes, so I"ve got about 10 minutes to blog. Please excuse the typos.

When we were in the States, Sapphire and Ezio would occasionally bring home notes about field trips that they were going on, generally at least a week ahead of time, and then they would bring home reminders at least 2 more times before they actually went on the trip. The French on the other hand, do not handle it so.

When I picked Sapphire and Ezio up from school on Tuesday, they gleefully informed me that their class, and one of teh other classes from their school, had walked to a nearby international market for a tour, and that they had had the opportunity to eat dates (big raisins, according to Ezio) and a couple of other things. Thursday, (yesterday) I picked them up and discovered that they, along with much of the rest of the school, had walked to a nearby movie theatre for a screening of Peter and the Wolf (Pierre et le loup) done by marionettes. Today they have a field trip to a nearby stadium (I"m guessing that they'll take a bus, since it's about a mile and a half each way) for a sports outing. The only reason I know about this one ahead of time is that they needed to be sent in their track suits so that they would be able to participate.
