Dear readers, chers lecteurs,
We made it! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the sweet aroma of freedom fills the air. It's that time of the year again when we bid farewell to textbooks and assignments and say hello to beach trips, ice cream cones, and endless adventures.
Mais alors que nous sommes prélassés sur nos chaises (que nous imaginons longues et inclinées) à siroter un thé glacé in spirit, nos pensées vagabondent sur le long sentier de l'année scolaire qui s 'achÚve. Quelle aventure cela a été. Vous avez appris de nouvelles choses, noué de nouvelles amitiés; vous avez ri, vous avez pleuré (surtout pendant les cours de maths) mais surtout vous avez grandi, et de bien des maniÚres
Le Bilingue Londres, too, has grown - we are celebrating the third issue and we look forward to coming back stronger after a well-deserved break But we wanted to thank you, dear readers, chers lecteurs, for being part of the team in a way, for contributing when we needed you, for reading us and looking forward to the next issue. And who knows, maybe next September, we might welcome some of you as editors The door is always open!
Mais avant de fermer la trousse et d'ouvrir les parasols, on a une pensée pour les superhéros du quotidien - les légendes-, nos profs, qui redoublent d'imagination et de passion pour donner vie à leur matiÚre Alors nul doute qu'ils apprécieront vos messages de remerciement pour Thank You Day
And now, let's sail away But remember this: summer break is not just about forgetting everything you learned in history class or putting your calculator in hibernation. It's about expanding your horizons, discovering new passions, and maybe even stumbling upon your hidden talents So go ahead, take that painting class you ' ve always wanted to try, learn to play the ukulele, or start a blog about your summer escapades. Let your curiosity guide you, and who knows what incredible things you might uncover?
Bonnes vacances chers lecteurs, dear readers, et Ă bientĂŽt.
Sincerely,
L'équipe éditoriale de Le BilingueVisitez Parlons Français pour rester à jour sur les derniÚres nouvelles du département; participer à des concours d'écriture ou lire les créations des élÚves.

GRADUATION DAY
La remise des diplĂŽmes, c 'est pour ce mois-ci!
La communauté de l'Ecole Jeannine Manuel se réunira pour célébrer la réussite des Terminales aux examens et pour leur dire au revoir avant le grand départ pour l'université.
Le mois dernier, les 6Úmes sont allés découvrir Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme au théùtre .
La célÚbre comédie de MoliÚre était jouée par une troupe indépendante française et les élÚves ont pu découvrir que le théùtre populaire français était bien différent des pantomimes
On 1st of June, all the 6e went to go see the play A Midsummers Night Dream at the famous Globe
The story talks about four lovers: Lysander, Demitrius, Helena and Hermia as well as a mischievous Puck that mixes up all the lovers with a love potion so there is a lot of mistakes and drama between these four friends. Hermia and Lysander run away to get secretly married and Helena and Demitrius follow. Lysander is in love with Hermia but is mistakenly given a love potion and falls in love with Helena. The play shows that love is love and many other meaningful things. The play was great! It was very funny and nearly all the cast was women which is impressive (and cool). However, Oberon should have had a costume because he did not in the production. But putting this aside, the costumes were magnificent and fantastic, they were so creative and really showed the personality of each character Overall it was an enjoyable and relaxing event, and thank you to our english teachers who organised this
Written by Sofia W.R., 6Ăšme"I loved the costumes and the acting because the costumes were big and colourful and the acting was very emotional and good."
Lauren
On Tuesday 23rd May, the 5Ăšmes went to have a backstage tour of the National Theatre
It taught us many things about the theatrical world
Inside, there are three different theatres: The Olivier, The Lyttelton and The Dorfman theatres. The Olivier theatre is the biggest theatre of the three, it is a proscenium arch theatre with a fan shaped auditorium, as it has 1100 seats at an angle of 114 degrees The designers chose this angle because it is the angle of the human's perspective of view, so anyone on the stage wouldnât have to turn their heads towards the audience as they can see the entire scene from their seat
The guides showed us a variety of different props that the actors and crew use For example if a character is drinking alcohol in the play, the prop master would get a can of beer, empty it, then cut off the top and put a smaller soda can inside so that way the actor wonât be drinking alcohol on stage. They also have these fake pies which you can take a piece out of which is held in by magnets
They showed us many other things like all the areas which they build props for the stage in, as well as many other things.
It was a fun experience and I recommend you go see a play there if you havenât already been The backstage tour is also worth a look and it is an exciting way of discovering the venue And, you could also educate your parents about the different facts inside (which is always an incentive)
Amazing trip! It was very cool to see how they form the fake wigs The guide was funny and taught us many things Eleonore
Very interesting experience that taught us how the crew uses sounds for effect Nasser
On Friday 2nd June, Mathilda della Torre came to the school to share her experience as a volunteer in the sadly notorious refugee camp in Calais where many of the migrants who hope to access England are settled. There are around 3700 people in these camps; some stay two months, others two years
Mathilda Della Torre initially went there to understand what was happening but, after realising that something had to be done for these people being treated poorly, she decided to raise awareness and published a book titled Conversations from Calais which garners personal recounts and thoughts from anonymous migrants.
Before the book was made, she started this campaign by pasting quotations across London. When asked why they were so plain, she explained she wanted not only to leave room for the imagination of the reader but also so that when these people came to England they could start afresh and not have the label of immigrant, refugee, migrant or asylum seeker attached to them forever.
It was both insightful and humbling to hear about the migrant crisis from someone who has seen it firsthand It was an opportunity to discuss an important issue that is often difficult to fathom from newspaper articles.
It was a very powerful experience It was humbling to stand in front of so many children who were genuinely interested, curious and aware about the topic.
Mathilda Della TorreLe festival de Cannes est une compétition pour récompenser notamment le meilleur film, réalisateur et beaucoup d'autres prix. Mais c 'est aussi un moyen pour que des films internationaux soient présentés au monde et pour que leurs réalisateurs aient une opportunité de financer leur projet et de faire rayonner leur film.
Le festival de Cannes est important pour les Français et le monde car il reconnaßt les talents de beaucoup de réalisateurs et assure une postérité aux films. Le jury décerne un des prix les plus prestigieux du monde du cinéma: la Palme d'or.
Cette annĂ©e, la laurĂ©ate de la Palme d'or est la Française Justine Triet pour son film âAnatomie d'Une Chuteâ. Le film, sur le ton dâun thriller psychologique, raconte la mort (accidentelle ou prĂ©mĂ©ditĂ©e) du mari de l'accusĂ©e.
Mais la remise de la Palme a créé une polémique En effet, Justine Triet, dans son discours de remerciement, a parlé non de son film mais de politique.
Elle a tenu un discours incendiaire et controversé sur la réforme des retraites votée en France quelques semaines plus tÎt. Est-ce normal de détourner un discours de lauréat pour faire passer un message politique?
Justine Triet est une cinĂ©aste dâinfluence et respectĂ©e et elle a utilisĂ© ce moment diffusĂ© partout dans le monde pour critiquer l'Etat qui paradoxalement finance beaucoup par des subventions le cinĂ©ma français. Etant la troisiĂšme femme Ă recevoir la distinction (aprĂ©s Jane Campion et Julia Ducournau) on se demande si câĂ©tait le bon moment pour faire un discours politique et critiquer le gouvernement français, sans rĂ©el rapport avec son film plutĂŽt que de prendre un engagement plus fĂ©ministe.
Que l'on soit dâaccord ou non, le Festival de Cannes demeure l'Ă©picentre du cinĂ©ma mondial Au-delĂ de la compĂ©tition, le festival est avant tout lâoccasion de mettre en avant le cinĂ©ma du monde entier mais aussi un tremplin pour de nouveaux rĂ©alisateurs. Il est dommage que Justine Triet ait manquĂ© une occasion de continuer Ă nous faire rĂȘverâŠ
Du 1er au 30 juin on célÚbre le mois des fiertés (Pride Month)!
C'est un moment trĂšs important dans l'annĂ©e car c âest une pĂ©riode pour cĂ©lĂ©brer la communautĂ© LGBTQ+ Pour rappel, c 'est un sigle pour: lesbian, gay , bisexual, transgender, queer et autres (non-binaire, asexuel, etc).
Ce mois a Ă©tĂ© rendu officiel en 2000 par Bill Clinton. Câest lui qui a dĂ©cidĂ© que juin serait dĂ©sormais le mois pour cette communautĂ©. Mais c âest Barack Obama qui a trouvĂ© un nom plus inclusif, LGBTQ+.
La communautĂ© souffre encore aujourd'hui de discriminations et cet Ă©vĂ©nement est l'occasion de rappeler que les LGBTQ+ sont vus et acceptĂ©s comme ils sont et sans jugement et qu â on devrait s âaccepter comme on est.
Pour vraiment marquer cette celebration, il y a une Gay Pride. C'est une parade qui donne de la visibilité à la communauté LGBTQ+ et appelle à la tolérance.
Est-ce important d'avoir un mois des fiertés?
C'est important qu'il y ait le mois des fiertés parce car ça aide les gens LGBTQ+ à se sentir bien et acceptés.
Eugénie
Comment pourrait-on célébrer la mois des fiertés à l'école?
On pourrait dédier un jour à la cause et s'habiller aux couleurs de l'arc-en-ciel pour montrer son soutien.
Maya
Le mois des fiertés, est-ce que c 'est assez?
Ce n 'est jamais assez. On devrait rester sensible Ă la cause plus que 30 jours par an.

21st June is not the first day of summer, and as if it wasn't cool enough, it is also World Music Day. That sounds like a lot for just one day but it can take it as 21st June is also the solstice, aka the longest day in the year And now, you begin to fathom why it is the best day to celebrate music!
Do you consider yourself something of a music connoisseur? Then you might handle the quiz below all right If not, then it's okay: we never judge However, we strongly recommend you spend more time on Spotify.

I don't know what you ' ve been told But time is running out, so spend it like it's goldâŠ

I can buy myself flowers

Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don't understandâŠ

I wrote, produced and directed my first play when I was 15 and it was called, âThe Glass Heroâ My play was performed for four nights and on the first night, a theatre critic from a local newspaper came to review it I learned a great deal about being a playwright when her review was published the following morning When I look back over âThe Glass Heroâ today, I am filled with feelings of pity and pride: it was flimsy and full of flaws, but it spoke with my voice and this, I have come to realise, is key
Determined to improve, I quickly wrote three more plays and, haltingly, I began the long, torturous journey towards learning how to set scenes, structure dialogue, and bring characters to life
I think that a successful screenwriter must somehow possess the agility of a tightrope walker, carefully balancing plotlines, character arcs, and dialogue with the precision of a seasoned acrobat It is a juggling act of crafting compelling narratives while keeping the audience on the edge of their seats Late nights are spent hunched over a keyboard, concocting scenes that will - hopefully - leave the audience breathless or clutching their sides with laughter
So, embrace the pleasure and excitement of screenwriting, but remember, it is not all glitz and glamour I have learned that it takes dedication, persistence, and an unwavering belief in the power of storytelling The road may have its bumps, but the destination is worth every twist and turn So grab your pen, buckle up, and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime! Lights, camera, action!
KIt Lennox-Hilton, Teacher of ScienceI started cello when i was three years old after my mom took me to the Suzuki hub in hackney in east London. My first teacher was an accomplished professional orchestral cellist who lived near me and had recently started teaching after retiring from her orchestral position. While learning with her I had 2 lessons a week and one concert per term. I very much enjoyed the group classes as they allowed me to play and connect with my friends and have fun.
After a few years, I started studying under a more laid back and lively teacher, and have been enjoying her teaching for the past 4 or 5 years. I also recently started studying with one of my motherâs friends, alternating weekly private lessons with both teachers. I very much enjoy his method of teaching and his bright spirit always puts me in a good mood.
I really look forward to the group lessons that happen almost every week. They inspire me to arrange music from movies and video games for my friends and I to perform together.
When I was young I was not very pleased about being forced to practise every day or having to go to another concert Now after the experiences it has given me, such as playing in the National Children's Orchestra and a weekly chamber music group on Sundays called Con Spirito, and the skills it has taught me, I am very thankful that my mother forced me to play the cello If anyone reading wishes to start an instrument I would highly recommend it The music community is amazing, the effort put in always comes out great and making music, by yourself or together, is just an experience that I believe everybody should have an opportunity to enjoy

La fĂȘte avait pourtant bien commencĂ©. Enfin dans ma tĂȘte, car j'Ă©tais plutĂŽt en train de me lâimaginer en avance, trĂšs excitĂ©e Ă l'idĂ©e que c'Ă©tait ce soir. Au fait, je m âappelle Mlle Guacamole, je suis avocate. Je disais donc : soudain, un hurlement retentit Si jâavais bien entendu, le cri venait de chez ma vieille voisine, Mme Ketchup. J'y ai accouru et utilisĂ© le double des clĂ©s qu âelle m âavait prĂȘtĂ© il y a longtemps, pour pĂ©nĂ©trer chez elle. Elle Ă©tait lĂ , allongĂ©e par terre, morte. Son sang s'Ă©tait rĂ©pandu tout autour dâelle Sa prĂ©cieuse coupelle en or avait disparu Lâagresseur avait dĂ» la prendre. Ce n'Ă©tait pas trĂšs
Ă©tonnant car elle valait beaucoup dâargent. Les gens commençaient Ă s âapprocher, curieux de savoir ce quâil s'Ă©tait passĂ© J'ai saisi mon tĂ©lĂ©phone portable, et jâai appelĂ© le fameux dĂ©tective, M. Lamande : il arriverait dans moins d'une demi-heure.
Pendant ce temps, le policier, M. Laprune, qui venait dâarriver, Ă©tait en train dâinspecter la scĂšne de crime Sourcils froncĂ©s, il se concentrait Soudain, il se figea, chercha fĂ©brilement quelque chose dans sa poche et en sortit une paire de gants, quâil enfila soigneusement. Je lâai ensuite vu se baisser et ramasser un objet sur le sol Puis il s âest approchĂ© de moi et m â a dit : âMademoiselle Guacamole, il me semble avoir trouvĂ© un indice capital.â A ce moment-lĂ , le tĂ©lĂ©phone de M. Laprune s âest mis Ă sonner. Il a dĂ©crochĂ© et peu Ă peu s âest mit Ă pĂąlir. AprĂšs avoir raccrochĂ©, il a chuchotĂ©:âJ'ai de terribles nouvelles, le dĂ©tective M Lamande a eu un accident: il a Ă©tĂ© renversĂ© par le tracteur de M. LatrĂšsgrossepatate. Je vais devoir mener l'enquĂȘte tout seul, pouvez-vous m âaider?â Jâai Ă©videmment acceptĂ©.
De mon cĂŽtĂ©, je me suis mise Ă faire des recherches sur toutes les personnes que Mme Ketchup connaissait et qui pouvait porter un tel masque. Pendant ce temps, M. Laprune est allĂ© interroger les voisins Jâai tout de suite Ă©liminĂ© M Pamplemousse et Mme Orange-Sanguine malgrĂ© son goĂ»t prononcĂ© pour la violence. M. Chouxfarci, avec sa grosse tĂȘte toujours plongĂ©e dans un livre, ne me paraissait pas non plus coupable. De mĂȘme pour la baronne, Mme PĂ©pin de PastĂšque qui Ă©tait en fauteuil roulant Il me restait donc Sir Pickles, le duc anglais, Eda Mame, le chanteur anglais et Jean de Concombrus, un jeune Ă©tudiant. A midi, jâai retrouvĂ© Mr Laprune pour dĂ©jeuner AprĂšs son interrogatoire, il s'Ă©tait retrouvĂ© avec les mĂȘmes rĂ©sultats que moi Nous devions maintenant dĂ©terminer lequel d'entre eux Ă©tait le coupable
Pour cela, nous avons dĂ©cidĂ© dâaller les interroger de plus prĂšs. Nous avons commencĂ© par Sir Pickles, qui nous a expliquĂ© que pendant le meurtre, il etait allĂ© rendre visite Ă sa tante, Lady Lettuce, qui nous confirma ses paroles. Nous lâavons donc barrĂ© de la liste. Nous avons ensuite dĂ©cidĂ© dâaller interroger Eda Mame. Il nous a racontĂ© que le soir du crime, il Ă©tait en rĂ©pĂ©tition avec son groupe que nous avons ensuite interrogĂ© Ce quâil disait Ă©tait vrai, ce n'Ă©tait pas lui Nous nous sommes donc dirigĂ©s vers la demeure de Jean de Concombrus. Nous avons sonnĂ© mais il n â a pas rĂ©pondu. Nous avons questionnĂ© le voisin qui nous a dit quâil lâavait vu il y a moins dâune demi-heure se diriger prestement vers la gare Saint-Lasagne Nous nous sommes regardĂ©s dâun air entendu avant dây courir. Heureusement, nous avons appris grĂące Ă une gentille dame que le dernier train Ă©tait parti il y a deux heures et demie. Jean de Concombrus n âavait donc pas pu le prendre DeuxiĂšme âheureusementâ, le prochain train partait dans moins de dix minutes Nous n âavions plus qu'Ă attendre Ă l'entrĂ©e du quai pour le voir arriver.
A peine deux minutes s'Ă©taient-elles Ă©coulĂ©es que la foule affluait dĂ©jĂ Et lĂ , bien cachĂ© au milieu dâun groupe, nous lâavons repĂ©rĂ©. Jean de Concombrus. Nous nous sommes Ă©lancĂ©s vers lui mais il nous a Ă©chappĂ© de justesse La course-poursuite a continuĂ© ainsi sur le quai, lui, esquivant facilement les gens grĂące Ă sa petite taille et nous, bousculant vainement tout le monde sur notre passage, dans l'incapacitĂ© de le rattraper. Lorsque soudain, il a trĂ©buchĂ© et est tombĂ© sur les rails. Avant que nous n â ayons pu faire quoi que ce soit, le train est arrivĂ© Les gens sont montĂ©s, dâautres sont descendus et le train est reparti. Nous sommes descendus sur les rails, prĂȘts Ă ramasser son corps inerte.
Quelle surprise de le voir couvert de poussiĂšre, mort de peur mais bien vivant. Nous lâavons saisi et emmenĂ© au commissariat oĂč il a Ă©tĂ© interrogĂ©. Il a tout de suite avouĂ© son crime. Il avait en effet volĂ© la coupelle en or de Mme Ketchup, mais c'Ă©tait pour payer un hĂŽpital Ă sa mĂšre, qui Ă©tait malade du cancer. En revanche, il n âavait pas voulu tuer Mme Ketchup, mais elle s'Ă©tait mise Ă se dĂ©battre et il avait dĂ» la repousser brutalement pour pouvoir prendre la coupelle. Malheureusement elle s'Ă©tait Ă©crasĂ©e contre le coin dâun meuble qui lâavait faite exploser En fuyant par la fenĂȘtre, il avait fait tomber son masque.
Jean de Concombrus a été condamné à 35 ans de prison. Quant à moi, je suis rentré chez moi pour reprendre un cours de vie normal
