Just a few minutes apart, an express return of two students to the classroom. House keys forgotten at the bottom of the bag. And bag stayed at school until the next day. This is the protocol imposed on CM1 and CM2 of the Havange single class since Tuesday morning “to avoid movement of equipment,” explains the teacher. The health crisis forces us to reinvent the routine the day after confinement.

And a nurse spent the morning at school reminding everyone of the barrier gestures, but “the children really did not seem stressed,” said the elected official, who came to take the pulse at the exit. The rest of the week should continue in the same relaxed manner. Now with doors and windows wide open.
