DAY 5

After more hours in the bus, which thankfully are not boring, we arrived at Leeds Castle.

Half of us liked the castle because it was beautiful, old and interesting. The other half didn't but as the visit was not too long it turned out alright. The best thing was the maze situated in the garden : we could easily get lost but thanks to those who found the way to the heart of the maze, almost everyone made it. There were many peacocks there.



Then we had a last free time at Canterbury and we went to Dover to take the ferry. On the boat we ate but most of us were not hungry because it was too early to eat our dinner.
When the boat left the English coast, we all felt sad. Leaving England, this beautiful country with the amazing weather (rain, wind, ...and...rain again) was a torture for us. We are going to regret this trip.










In the bus, like before, everybody sang and shouted at each other. The atmosphere was cool, stupendous, awesome!!!
We (Camille and Orianne) are sitting in the bus now writing for you this great story.

So bye!

DAY 4

In the morning before going Like on Tuesday morning for our history and geography lessons, Nicolas, the coach driver, took us to the beach and to Bournemout pier. It was fun.



At the school the English teachers were smiling, enegetic, and funny so the lessons were interesting.

After, the teachers told us that we would go to  a museum about coats of arms. We arrived in an industrial area and we didn't understand what we were doing there. We got off the coach and followed Mrs Robin into ...a bowling!!! The museum was a joke, what an amazing surprise! All the students had a lot of fun, it was really great. We also discovered that Mr Bailly was a fan of bowling.



In the afternoon, after lunch and bowling we went to Salisbury. We saw the cathedral and then we had a free time to do some shopping. Everybody bought souvenirs, food and clothes.

Then we went to Stonehenge, observed the stones and listened to a guide. We also took a lot of group photos. It was sunny during the whole day so it was really nice.






In the coach during our trip back to Bournemouth, we had an award ceremony for the winners of the song contest and for the bowling competition :
The winners (singers) were :
In third place  Margot and her group for René la taupe
In second place Natalia with "les gilets de flannelles"
And in first place...Lucas and Noé for "Partir un jour"
and finally a special prize for for the song of Winnie the Pooh.

For the bowling, Adrien in third place, Norman in second place, and in the firstplace a girl, she beat all the boys!!! Anne-Lise!!


Apolline and Alexandre

DAY 3

So this morning we had to take the bus at 7h45, so just imagine we had to wake up so early even if we were tired! We still didn't lose the opportunity to annoy people in the bus with some stupid songs... like a song battle between the gentlemen and the girls (the boys won of course!)
 
 

But we forgot to say the most important thing: why so early?  Because of London!
 
After a boring trip, we arrived at the Globe theatre.
 
First a guide showed us this awesome place but the girls were only looking at our guide, who they thought was so attractive...An Irish man with blue eyes.
 
 





 

 
 
 He also gave us a drama class during which we had to become one of the Tempest characters and we had to work on the relationship between them.
 


 




 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
Then we had lunch (aaarrrgh!)under the rain (ooohhh!)
 
During the afternoon we watched William Shakespeare's play "The Tempest". That was almost perfect, even if we didn't understand all the words, even if an actor didn't remeber his line at one point, even if an actor made some silly jokes and played some pranks on the audience.
 
After the play we started our journey and we had a great "bad songs" contest and the winners were ....
 
To be continued...
 
Thomas and Jérémy

Day 2

In the morning , when everybody was in the bus, we went to a school. No one was really happy "school is boring"! However, first lesson, second lesson and third...everything is interesting! The teachers were funny and explained to us many things about history, food, politics...

After that we went back to the coach and had our lunch. During the two hours in the bus we discovered (not always with pleasure) the picnics given by the families...



Next we listened to and discussed about Corentin's presidential program.

When we arrived in Bath we had a free time in the town where we visited some shops and admired the town.

An hour later we started the visit of the famous Roman baths. The place was at the same time a museum and Roman ruins. The therms were gigantic during their time, and we saw different pools, especially one, really big and filled with hot water. We also admired some beautiful statues. At the end of the visit we drank the disgusting water of the baths.

 


 


 

Then we returned to the coach under the pouring rain and listened to our friends singing in the microphone.
 


Noé and Guillaume.
