Click here to find out what the pupils who have not travelled to France have been up to

Monday 17th June

 After a very, very long journey the group arrived at 6.00pm (UK time) just in time for dinner. 

The weather has been hot and humid and all have been extremely well behaved throughout the day. 

Rooms have been allocated and all are happy. At the moment it is just the teachers who are tired! 

Tuesday 18th June

All had a good night (asleep by 11.45pm) and most up bright and early this morning.

It is 30 degrees, the sun is shining and they are on their way to the market.  

Tuesday 18th June 

In early start with lots of excited children! After a good breakfast we set off for some retail therapy in glorious sunshine and 34 degrees Celsius! Everybody got in the mood with a little competitive market trail!! Needless to say the winning team was Madame Guy's group (How many times has she done it?!) After handing out their allocated amount of Euros for the day it didn't take long to spend it on Paris's finest and most trendy gifts....Mums and Dads you're in for a treat!!

Then back on the coach and heading for Paris, seeing famous landmarks as well as other fascinating sights.....they will tell you about the cloud factory, bread bank and why the river Seine is green!!

Our final destination Sacré-Coeur and the thrill of climbing up the steps in 34 degrees.....we are sure the children are all looking forward to climbing up the Eiffel Tower tomorrow....the staff cannot wait!! Your children were one of the main attractions as they sat and sketched, drawing in more crowds than the bicycle entertainers!! 

Back home safe and very well fed. Now the children are rounding off the evening with a French quiz followed by making their own crêpes. We are sure they will be exhausted and go to bed early!!!
