Les élèves des Quatrièmes PATIA, HAAPUA et PAERE remercient chaleureusement le Foyer Socio-Educatif de leur avoir donné la possibilité de se rendre au musée James Norman Hall à Arue au mois de mars. Ils ont visité la maison du célèbre auteur américain des Révoltés de la Bounty (Mutiny on the Bounty, 1932) qu'ils étudient en classe avec leur professeur d'anglais, Mme Rere.
Ils ont réalisé une enquête sur la vie et l'univers de l'auteur, en tant qu'artiste, soldat et père de famille. Voici leurs travaux et quelques photos...
