U.P.I Unité

Pédagogique

D’intégration

What’s the U.P.I? Our middle school opened a new structure: That

welcomes particular pupils. What does it mean?

An UPI is an Educational Unit to integrate pupils presenting a handicap. In our UPI, the pupils that are selected present diverse handicaps and are

the same age as all the other students. This class answers the objective of the

government to create collective devices of integration which can offer more flexible

modalities to welcome students presenting a handicap.

Some will be integrated little by little into certain of the classes of the middle school

This class facilitates links of solidarity, gratitude

and helps understand difference as well as tolerance, between the pupils of the same age

group.

Your wheelchair is not the end of your life,

It is the beginning of another one, one of springtime

When the bird without wings, breezes by a shiver

The icy monotonous chant of a flight which runs away.

Handicap has to be a strength and not a weakness

Even if all this can seem difficult, to you

Don’t remain alone, folded up in the shade, immovable,

The wind will dry the sobs of the gall which hurts you.

Way and learn beyond your faded legs,

You will see later that it is your road

Where fate has nothing to do any more,

Even if today, the hours sadden your heavy complaint.

It is always necessary to find a direction the next day,

To resume and to relight the torch of hope

By raising without a noise your arms towards victory

To get past the handicap and see farther.

Nobody is

indifferent

towards

difference:

To be recruited in the European section, it is necessary to have the required level. You have to pass a test but also to have good school

results.There are two European sections: a

Spanish section and an English section.

We have three hours of English a week with our English teacher and we have two hours a week of civilization with another English teacher. It makes five hours a week.

• In the European class, we work on a specific European issue. This year we are working on the Environment.

• We often go out; we saw an exhibition in Argeles by Yann Arthus Bertrand. It has made us aware of several environmental issues such as global warming, the consumption of meat and the use of sustainable energy.

• We also work on a forum of discussion called “Etwinning” which allows us to correspond with British pupils and it will help us get a European mention at the end of High School.

Our trip to England

• This year in European class, we are going on a journey to England, to London, in order to improve our English and learn more about the English culture.

• We ‘re going to visit museums and parks. We ‘re

going to sleep in British families.

The science option is managed by Mr Lemay (Science teacher), Mrs Roca (Biology teacher), Mr Garcia (Technology teacher) and Mr Girardin (Mathematics teacher), they work together in common

projects : this year it is sustainable development (they are building miniature greenhouses in technology for science).

There are several groups which rotate between the four teachers of this option. It allows pupils to improve their knowledge in sciences

and enter a scientific section in High school. It’ s once a week between noon and two o'clock with the 3èmes.
