Thirty-five schoolchildren from Trévières discover the horse at Vaumicel

Thirty-five students from the Trévières public primary school arrived on a Monday morning at the Vaumicel for four days of horseback riding and collective life. Mr. Héroult's CE2 and Mrs. Lehain's improvement class concretely discovered horses: riding, directing, brushing, working on the carousel, trotting, galloping and learning acrobatics.

Christophe told his discovery of the castle's rooms and then his first horseback ride on the road, impressive. Jérôme, already initiated, said he had learned new things. The teachers had preferred on-site accommodation to day visits to discover group life. Students and adults saw each other differently, especially during evening games.

Ms. Lehain observed that the children in her class were no longer in a situation of failure and fit better with others than in school. The stay belonged to a program of discovery classes also including trips to the mountains and Vire. The main thing was not the distance, but these strong moments of learning.

The school finally announced a surprise show at the Trévières theater on Saturday, June 13, prepared by children, teachers and volunteer parents.
