EES Secondary School Students Visit Helsinki


A group of mixed S2 and S4 pupils from EES are currently visiting the European School of Helsinki to find out how being part of the 2-year Comenius project has impacted on life at the school. Whist there, they have been asked them to prepare a 5 minute presentation on the European Schools of Helsinki and Strasbourg to present to an audience of students both at Helsinki and at Strasbourg. After an initial discussion on what they most would be interested to know, find out and learn about life at ESH, they have narrowed the list down to 3 main things:
1. details of the ecological activity in the school and how Helsinki got their "Green Flag" status
2. information about teaching and learning, and school life.
3. ideas for ways in which the two schools could continue to communicate in the future.

Michael (Mike) Anderson

Our character is called Micheal (Mike) Anderson.

He's a teenage boy and he likes skateboarding, playing basketball and biking. He's won two skateboard competitions and plays basketball in a club. He also likes going to the park with his friends.

His favourite items are books – he's quite a bookworm -, his skateboard, and PSP. He has a cat called Dandelion and a dog called Scraps.

He loves pizza, pasta and American bagels. He has two older sisters called Abby and Meg and one smaller brother called Jimmy. He plays the drums and his favorite music is rock.

Michael comes from Switzerland and speaks English, French and Spanish. He comes to school on his skateboard. He was born on the 1st of November.

His favorite subjects are P.E and Music because he plays the drums and basketball, but he can't decide which one will be his profession. His best friend is called Andrew.

His Apperance

He has light brown hair and blue eyes and a sallow complexion. He's fond of wearing his white Puma t-shirt and jeans, and usually wears trainers as he's quite active and likes being comfortable.

He is generally quite content with his lot in life. He's trustworthy, friendly and open-minded. However, he does tend to lose his temper a little when he becomes frustrated which gets him into hot water sometimes.




The children in the French and German sections also created characters that were well thought through with deep family stories. Unfortunately, they were not chosen to be used in the Comenius production. However, they will be brought to life and used in drama lessons within EES.

Il travaillait au Conseil de l’Europe, mais il est mort dans le crash d’un avion en 2008. Il avait 43 ans. Julio vit avec sa mère du côté de Gallia, près de l’arrêt de tram, sur le quai des Bateliers.

Julio est fils unique. Il va à l'EES depuis la rentrée en S4FR. Il parle portugais à la maison. Il a pris anglais en LV2 et Espagnol en LV3. Il fait maths 3.5, arts plastiques et latin.

Il est assez sociable et ouvert d'esprit. Il a de bonnes notes, mais il bavarde, son travail est propre mais Julio est un peu dyslexique.

C'est un très gentil garçon, amical et drôle, mais parfois impulsif et mauvais perdant, mais il s'est bien intégré dans notre classe. Il a les yeux verts, cheveux bruns un peu bouclés, et une peau matte. Il a un beau sourire et de belles dents. Il mesure 1,72m pour 64 kilos. Julio est apprécié par les filles car il est beau garçon. Il s'habille avec des jeans un peu slim, de préférence bleus ou noirs ; des Bensimon grises, rouges, et des sweats de couleurs unies. Il porte souvent son american apparel rouge.

Julio fait du skate, du snowboard, du piano depuis 3 ans, et du rugby depuis cette année. Il aime bien lire (son héros est Saint Exupéry, souvenir de son père pilote) et faire la cuisine. Souvent Julio aide sa mère pour les tâches ménagères. Quand il est chez lui, il regarde un peu la télé, parle à sa mère quand elle est là pour lui raconter ses journées ou lui demander de l'aide pour ses devoirs. Il a un chat qui s'appelle Luigi.

Julio est végétarien et a horreur des gens qui mangent au cinéma. Il aime écouter les bons vieux groupes de rock ou de pop (Duffy, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones..)..

Il veut devenir architecte.

Our MS class playing the games

Pedagogical Garden

The MS class went to visit the "pedagogical garden" that the CE1's planted in May-June. The flowers were stunning, but they also came back with some carrots, radishes and runner beans!!! (not quite enough for the soup we made, but we put them in it even so).
