A group of excited Reception and Form 1 children boarded Eurostar on Thursday morning, tickets, passports and favourite teddy or soft toy in hand, ready for their mini trip to France. Luckily there were no hiccups at the border as all travel documents had been carefully checked and stamped by the guards before departure – phew!
A scramble through the tunnel ‘et voilà!’ we arrived in Paris! After a sight-seeing trip in a ‘Bateau Mouche’ along the Seine we split into groups and followed a carrousel of activities to learn more about the main sights of Paris. To everyone’s delight one of the activities included a visit to a ‘boulangerie’ and ‘café’ where the correct order in French was rewarded with a tasty croissant or pain au chocolat as well as a piece of baguette. But far too soon our trip was over and teddies and children back in the classroom… Au revoir, Paris and Merci beaucoup to all Form 7 Language Ambassadors and to Mrs Balu and Mr Berry who came on the trip and helped with the activities!
