'The coach trip today was long but worthwhile because the D-Day beaches and the battery were off the scale in terms of interest! The 360 cinema was good because we could look all around and it showed how the beaches today compare to what they were like in 1944. During the walk down to what was Gold Beach, we saw loads of war machinery and vehicles and these fascinated us and filled us with awe. When we reached the batteries, they amazed us as they were colossal and the barrels were about twice the size of us!' Toby Allen, Tommy Croager, John Weng and Matthew Willey
'The experience in France has been amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed the 360 cinema which
gave us a memorable, moving reminder of what troops went through on the
Normandy Beaches. A lot of people got
messy (apart from Lucius and Connor, of course!) tucking in to their tasty ice creams
by the beach.
Hi to all the mummys and daddys!' Zak White, Lucius Raggett and Connor Kelly
'Today we were lucky to taste a variety of French ice creams. They were scrumptious! After practising our French, we plucked up the
courage to ask for our choices en Francais (in French!)' Kyra Hughes and Alisha Church
'We have had an amazing time in France and today we have seen
many historical sights in Normandy. At the 360 cinema it was really
overwhelming because it reminded us about the price people paid for our freedom
during World War Two.' Poppy Owen and Rhiannon Barton-Coombes
‘We enjoyed going to the 360 cinema where we watched a film about
D-Day in WW2. After that, we went to the Normandy beaches, where many soldiers
fought bravely for the Allied forces. Finally, we went to the gunning range,
where the French army* would have shot enemy boats out at sea.’ David Barnes and Kelvin Liew
