Year 3 visit to Chanorier
3H children have been learning about Croissy’s local history and famous artists. On Wednesday the children walked to Croissy’s local history and art museums in Parc Chanorier. Here are some extracts from the children’s writing about the day. You might notice we walked a long way and it was a little rainy but they got something nice from the ‘boulangerie’ and they may even have learnt a little at the museums!
“It all started on a rainy Wednesday morning. It was shining brightly but it suddenly got darker and then it started raining!” Ignacy.
