Dear Teachers and Students,

We are looking forward to summer holidays, so I would like to express my great appreciation for your engagement and creativeness in contributing to the magazine contents.

Twelve schools have decided to participate in the project this year, six of which continued their partnership. All the articles and presentations submitted on magazine sites your comments on the forum prove your understanding of this form of collaboration. What I really feel proud of is the section ‘Culture Clash’ with four assembled presentations, whose educational and cultural values are undisputable.

Thank you for any new ideas you are sending to me. They are very helpful and bring a fresh view of the magazine. I will use them next year, when inviting you and new partners to the project.

I wish you a joyful summer holiday.
See you in September .

Dear colleagues,
I can hardly believe that the summer holidays are almost upon us ! At the moment we are at the heart of the exam season, our school is an exam centre for the French Baccalaureat exam, so classes have already come to an end ! ( I hasten to add that the teachers are still hard at work, supervising exams, conducting oral exams and then of course, the marking !)
This is just a short message to tell you all how much I’ve enjoyed yet again working on Ice-Breaker. My pupils participated in two of the “Culture Clashes” and I hope that next year’s pupils will be even more active ! So, many thanks to Marta, who had all the hard work putting “Culture Clash” together, it was a very interesting and enriching venture and I’m already looking forward to my third year in the Ice-Breaker team !
In the meantime, let me wish you all a pleasant and restful summer holiday, deserved by all !
