Day 2
Tuesday morning started out with a short debriefing at the College de Pilâtre de Rozier between 8 and 8.50 AM. The two groups of students from Bergskolan and Örnässkolan gathered for a quick check that everything is working well with the host families. The students were happy with the accommodations aside from a few questions and concerns, mostly about the difference between Swedish and French breakfast routines.
After the debriefing the students were divided into three groups, A, B and C. The three groups followed their respective French host students to their classes between 8.50 AM until lunch at 11.50 AM.
The three groups alternated between biology, technology and chemistry class. In technology class the students were instructed by Mr. Wolff in using a computer program to design 3D schematics for building small scale windmill models for generating electricity. These schematics will later be used to make functioning PVC models.
In biology class the students were instructed by Mrs. Borr. The object of the biology lesson was to dissect frog legs. The students were tasked and evaluated in finding and identifing the frogs nervous system.
In chemistry class with Mrs. Cuny the students studied chemical reactions and molecule structures by building molecular models.
Following the morning lessons the Swedish students and teachers joined their French counterparts for a lunch of kebab and French Fries in the school cafeteria.
After lunch we took a short bus trip to The Laquenexy Gardens outside of Metz, a large botanical garden. There the students explored the vast gardens consisting of thousands of plants, flowers, herbs and more than 30 000 fruit trees. It was a relaxing and welcome break after the classes in the morning. The students enjoyed the gardens, took part in a quiz about the plants in the garden and got many great photo opportunities in the beautiful and scenic park.
The students concluded the day's activities with a visit to the beautiful and historic city center of Metz. There the Swedish and French students were given the opportunity to explore a bit on their own and do some shopping.
At 6.30 PM the French host families picked the students up down town for dinner and free evening activities.
That concludes the second day of our trip and the first full day of the exchange in France. Tomorrow we will spend the whole day touring the historic battle ground from the First World War, Verdun and end the day with a bowling party in the evening.

Bienvenue en France
Day 1
A tired but enthusiastic group of students (14 from Örnässkolan and 14 from Bergskolan + 5 teachers) met up at the Luleå Airport at 7.15 AM. The flight to Paris via Stockholm took off at 8.20 AM.
The trip went without incident and we made our connection in Stockholm with time to spare and finally touched down in Paris around 1 PM where we were picked up by bus and driven to our final destination Ars-Sur Moselle. This bus ride through a rainy and cloudy but extremely beautiful French rural landscape took just over 4 hours.
When we finally arrived at the school (college) in Ars-Sur Moselle our student and teacher delegation was met by our French counterparts who greeted us with a wonderful welcome ceremony. There were Swedish flags adorning the school building and a large banner welcoming us in both French and Swedish. Inside the college we were entertained with snacks, soft drinks and games. After the welcome ceremony the French host families arrived at the college to pick up the Swedish students and took them home for dinner and some well deserved rest after a long day on the road.
Tomorrow holds an extensive program in store for the Swedish delegation. Tuesday's activities will be kicked off with morning lessons at the college between 8 and 12 AM. In the afternoon we will visit a fruit garden outside of Metz called Fruit Gardens of Laquenexy after which we will have a chance to explore historical down town Metz.

Semaine à Luleå / dimanche 7 février 2016
La neige a commencé à tomber hier
midi. Ce matin, il y a 15 cm de plus sur la route pour l’aéroport. Les familles
ont emmené les français pour 11h30.
Les « au revoir » sont
difficiles, « câlins suédois », larmes, photos. L’avion décolle en
retard à 13h30. Les collègues travaillent dans l’avion pour classer, mixer les
vidéos et photos. Arrivés à Stockholm sous le soleil, les élèves sont
impatients d’aller déjeuner au fast food MAX.
Tout le monde ne l’a pas trouvé, certains sont allés au Mac Do. Ils dépensent
leurs dernières couronnes suédoises en bonbons et petits souvenirs avant
d’embarquer pour le dernier vol. Récupération des valises à l’aéroport de
Francfort. On monte dans le bus pour rentrer à la maison.
L'arrivée est prévue vers 23H45
