Junior 6
After arriving safely in France, Junior 6 pupils had an educational start to their first day, learning about the D-Day landings at the seaside resort of Arromanches. Pupils then enjoyed a picnic lunch before having some fun on the beach. Later in the week pupils practiced their French during a market visit to Thury-Harcourt. They then enjoyed a picnic lunch in the grounds of Lisieux Cathedral before heading off on a guided tour of the Basilic followed by a trip to Zoo de Cerza and a ride on the safari train!
One evening highlight was a culinary display of Mr Duigan's famous barbequing skills and everyone even got to try snails! Pupils were lucky enough to visit Bayeux and the children spent some time exploring the cemetery and touring the cathedral. They also viewed the Bayeux Tapestry before going on the hunt for a well deserved ice cream!
They finished their week off with a group talent show back at the gite yesterday. Then this monring, after saying a big thank you to their wonderful hosts, the children made their way to the ferry and are as we write this crossing the channel on their way back to England.
Joyeuses Paques a Tous!
