Mattéo's first day at school

Mattéo could not hide his excitement these last few days. At last he started today at the english section of the primary school of the European school in Munich .


It is traditional in Germany for children to make their own Schultute ("school bags") which are cornet shaped, and their parents fill them with school gadgets, gifts and sweets.

Alister took a few hours off the physiotherapy to be with Delphine and Mattéo. It was also an opportunity to meet the teacher (Miss Cronin) who you can see on one of the photos below. She is new to the school, having just come from an international school in Milan, and she seems very nice indeed.

Mattéo was thrilled to see some of his old friends from the Kindergarten and spent an enjoyable day in his new classroom, listening to a story told by Miss Cronin.




There are also a couple of photos of Mattéo's new bed (which he also helped to put together). Alister got some kind help from Christian and Olivier who could reach the parts that Alister still cannot reach!
