Saint Gabriel - Bordeaux in France


Saint Gabriel in Bordeaux



We are a mainstream primary school with almost 500 pupils from the age of 3 to 10 years old.



The school is in the city center of Bordeaux, South-West of France.
There is a specialized class called "CLIS Capucine" with 6 pupils.

There is in the school building a gymnasium that we used weekly to practice any kind of motricity, play games with balls, ...





Pupils really enjoy playing with balls even if sometimes it's difficult to play all together!

In January, every thursday, we'll go for horseriding. We are very excited even if we are a little afraid to get close to those big animals.

In october, to celebrate the start of the year at school, all the people from Saint Gabriel: teachers, headmaster, parents and pupils met in a public park for a cross running. 

It's difficult to run 500 meters with no stops... So we trained with older pupils who were volunteers and during the event, they helped us by running with us.


It was a nice sporting moment of sharing! And we did very well, so the headmaster gave us a special diploma. We were very proud.
