	Stroud Valley Primary School. St Laurence Christmas Tree Festival, Dec 2007
	On Goodwill Evening, some year 6 children from Stroud Valley Primary School stood at the front of St Laurence Church, near the twinning tree and sang a few carols, two of them in French. Their class teacher, Sarah Roberts, had arranged this and was supported by members of staff and parents, who came to listen. The children had learnt the carols in their French lessons and practised them with Mrs Roberts.

	Carole Oosthuysen, a committee member with responsibility for schools and French teacher at Stroud Valley, was invited by Revd Barry Coker to say a few words about the twinning before offering the children traditional French sweets called ‘papillotes’. These had been kindly sent from St Ismier by Régine Bernard. Inside each sweet wrapper was a French saying or proverb, which added to the fun.

	Members of the Stroud French Connections committee had decorated a Christmas Tree, along with 50 + other organisations, to reflect our organisation. Committee member Joy Cawthraw had made beautiful red, white and blue bows for the tree.
