This morning we went I Ebica, the Ecole bilingue internationale côte dazur. It is based in office buildings on a technology park which seemed strangely familiar to me.

It came to me eventually. I used to be big fan of J G Ballard. Many of his stories are set in technology parks on the cote dazure. He described the place perfectly.

In the Uk we might think it odd to have a school in office buildings, but modern offices are very adaptable, especially to the kind of self-run school encouraged by the libcon government, so we may see more like it in the Uk soon.

Thanks for a fun morning everyone!

I’m here in the South of France with Bookbox International. We had an early start so we had time to get lost in Monaco before we arrived at the LEcole Monaco.

I had a great day telling stories and showing the children how to draw pictures. See the photo on the side – that the view from a class 6 classroom!

Now Im back in my hotel trying not to fall asleep before we go out to find something to eat on the sea front. Mmmmmm zzzzz!

Many thanks for a great day, everyone. Au revoir, et bonne chance!
