Resistance museum, shopping for lunch and fun in the sun!

I thought it was amazing - all the different objects that aviators had in their survival kits, like a compass in a button. - Isabel J

I couldn't believe there was a real human tattoo in the museum - I was intrigued. - Yasmine

D-Day Anniversary Visit

6th June 1944 - a significant date in the history books when Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy in the D-Day landings.

Tomorrow marks the 69th anniversary of the D-Day landings, so we were very excited about our trip to the Normandy beaches (especially after learning all about the history of this event in our World War Two). We even spoke to a few war veterans about their experiences.

We started the day with a delicious breakfast of cereal, baguette and hot chocolate, before packing our lunches and heading off to Arromanches.

I enjoyed visiting the 360 cinema - it was so different from a normal cinema, and the film was very moving. - Alex

The 360 cinema was epic and a bit scary! - Toby

The cinema was enoyable because the images surround you and the film was very interesting. Whilst walking on the beach we discovered oyster shells! - Tanisha



My favourite part of the day was the 360 cinema - it ws really cool! Hi to mum and dad. - Georgina

 Today was really, really fun, apart from when I dropped my delicious, massive, chocolate ice-cream all over the pavement! - Nicholas

The Normandy beaches were cold, but it was fascinating to see the remains of the Mulberry Harbour. - Megan

 Today was really tiring, however I enjoyed the day's events. - Sophie

We are all enjoying the week so far (especially the Brie! - Leah), the weather is lovely and it is awesome having a chalet! - Leah and Lucy

I like the chalet because it gives us some freedom. - Tinu

The chalets are spectacular because they are comfortable and it is great to have our own home from home. -Owen C R

We are very much enjoying staying at Forges-les-Eaux and we appreciate the independence of staying in our own chalets. When we went on the boat trip yesterday, we saw lots of beautiful gardens and extraordinary nature whilst sailing on a green, flat-bottom boat (gondola). - Orla and Grace

Meeting our French friends!

Today we traveled to Amiens, where we visited our partner school and met our French pen pals.

Today I really enjoyed meeting my pen pal. We learnt a lot of things about them. I miss my little brother. 

- Dolly

I met my pen pal today. He was very friendly. I found out that they only go to school four days a week! Miss you lots. - Henry

I made good mates with my pen pal and learnt about him. He was very cool! - Ben

On the boat, Mr Youlton was singing a song called 'Rock the boat'! - Paige

I really liked the cathedral and was impressed by the stained glass windows; they must have taken ages to make! - Jack

Today we went to the largest cathedral in France. I was amazed by it. It was so big that all the people looked like ants inside. It has been a really fun day! - Hailey

 

Despite being woken up at 5 o'clock in the morning, I am thoroughly enjoying my time in France. - Jamie

Year 6 - Nous sommes arrives!!

Bonjour!

We have all arrived safe and sound in France and have had a lot of fun along the way.

Once we excitedly stepped onto French soil, we headed over to Escargot Mon Ami and learnt all about the life cycle of snails in French! 

Some of us were even brave enough to hold them!

Then we drove to our base for the week and explored the grounds.

 

After a yummy dinner of lasagne and an exhausting treasure hunt, we are now ready to head to our chalets and collapse into our well-made beds (which we learnt to make ourselves!).

Bonne nuit.

Pupils and Staff have arrived safely

Pupils and Staff have arrived safely, they are currently looking at large snails!
