Salut! My name is Louise. I am ten years old. I live with my mum, dad and little sister Corinne in Damazan, a village in south-west France.
There are around 1,300 people in Damazan. My family lives in an old farmhouse on the edge of the village.
We have bread, yoghurt and hot chocolate for breakfast.
Corinne is drinking hot chocolate from her bowl.
When breakfast is finished, I brush my hair and tie it back for school.
France is a large country in Western Europe. It has a population of around 66 million people. Damazan is in the Lot-et-Garonne region. It is a beautiful, hilly part of France named after the Lot and Garonne rivers.
Corinne and I go to the cole lmentaire or primary school. The school takes both boys and girls and there is no uniform so we can wear our normal clothes.
We study French, maths, geography, history, art and a foreign language. I am learning English.
My school is just down the road in the village so I walk there most days.
On the way to school I meet my friend Nicole. We have known each other since we were little.
Here in France, we speak French. French is an important language in many other countries, including Switzerland, Belgium, Canada and many African countries.
My school is called Groupe Scolaire de Damazan. State schools in France are secular. This means there is no religious teaching or morning worship.
Before school some of us get together to rehearse for the end of year show.
To start the day, instead of assembly, we have registration. We each have to answer Oui meaning Yes when our name is called.
In France, children start primary school at the age of six. We go on to collge or middle school at age 11. From the age of 15 we go to lyce or high school. There are two main types of lyce general and technical.
I am in class CM1. We are getting ready to go to middle school, so we do lots of tests.
There are 18 students in my class. We have to work quietly during lesson time.
I memorise some language rules about verbs.
I practise writing phrases in my notebook.
There are five classes in primary school CP, CE1, CE2, CM1 and CM2. CP is preparatory class, CE is elementary class and CM is middle class. The last two classes prepare students for middle school.
After breaktime, which lasts 15 minutes, we have a maths test. We are working on addition, division, multiplication and subtraction.
Maths is my favourite subject.
I finish the test quickly so Im allowed to read a book.
Afterwards our teacher, Madame Girard, gives us a dfi mathmathique a maths challenge. We work in teams of three. The first group to finish with the right answers gets a reward.
The French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte believed that maths would make France a successful nation. Today, many French people still say that maths is the most important subject in school. Many famous mathematicians are French.
We have a two-hour break for lunch. Today Corinne is staying at school to eat in the canteen. I walk home on my own.
I wash my hands while Mum makes lunch. Im really hungry after working so hard!
A croquemonsieur is a grilled ham and cheese sandwich.
Mmm, this croquemonsieur is delicious!
The French diet consists mainly of fresh vegetables, meat and cheeses. French people eat their main meal in the evening, with often just a sandwich or quiche for lunch. Famous dishes include onion soup and thin pancakes called crpes.
After lunch, I walk back to school so that I arrive half an hour before class starts.
I like going home for lunch, but I want to make sure I spend some time with my friends as well.
We play the sparrowhawk game then rehearse some more for the school show.
