“The days are full, between lessons and breaks spent playing with the children. They love soap bubbles and balloons. Everywhere I move someone comes and asks me for something: a balloon, soap bubbles, to do some experiment, correct maths homework or sing. Yes sing, because I am as tone deaf as a bell and thought I would teach a few Beatles songs.

The beginning was not easy, how do you explain a Bluetooth speaker to children who don’t know how to take a picture with a smartphone? It took Yellow Submarine to break the ice and infect everyone, including teachers and Jonathan, the driver, who often participated in my lessons with amusement. In the days that followed, the refrain “we all live in a yellow submarine” was a constant as I passed by, but perhaps the appearance of the submarine I drew on the blackboard will remain more in their memories.”
