Day 1 and 2 Scotland at last

Hi! We are all safe and sound in Scotland, with a long 3 hour train journey. At Carlisle we dashed across the brigde and a tonne of steps!!! Followed by one person not being able to indentify their suitcase, we finally made it into Dumfries! We walked over to our hotel The Cairndale and unpacked. We then headed off to explore Dumfries and discovered an awesome play park! There was a zipwire, swings, a four seater roundabout which was so fun!!!! We then came back and had some great news that we could go in the pool(yyyyyyaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!) There was a really luxurious jacuzzi!!

Later in the evening we went into the hotel's restaurant and had a yummy chicken dinner followed by ice cream with a wafer. We then found a very big room where we played a varity of games such as: SPLAT!, tongue murder, musical chairs and sleeping lions. Then we were off to bed at quarter past nine (not!)

The next day the teachers knocked on our doors and woke us up at 7:30 and all of us were already awake!! We quickly got dressed and ready for the day ahead, breakfast, well what a breakfast! We think Luke could have got the world record for eating the most croissantes... 13! Once our tummys were full we headed off to the Lockerbie Primary where we had a warm welcome from all the people in the school. With singing, dancing and performing by all pupils all ages.

We had a lovely lunch and then went over to Lockerbies town hall where we had fish and chips! Followed by an energetic time Scottish dancing! When we returned to the hotel we were tired from a long day of playing in parks and dancing and so on. But we still managed to played some more games in the games room with the French and now we are off up to bed.

See you tomorrow when we will have more exciting things to tell you!

FRANCE 2013 - Day 1

Bonjour, we have arrived safe and well after a calm and sunny crossing.  After a long day travelling we arrived at Nausicaa aquarium for a quick look at various marine life.  Then we continued on to the Chateau for tea, which was a delicious sweet and sour chicken, full of excitement for the week ahead.  Look out for our blog this week.

TATTENHALL VISIT

Tuesday 5th March 2013

We woke up bright and early this morning - 6.30am for some of us!  After breakfast, Tom Theatre joined us at the Tattenhall Centre to conduct our day of drama.  He taught us some fanastic drama games, which helped us to warm up our bodies and our voices.  Tom taught us how to become a character and then stay in character.  We learnt how to turn our bodies into a ship, how to become a stormy sea and how to project our voices so that they can be heard by an audience.  We have certainly learnt a lot of drama skills today, which will help us with our production in May at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester.  Today has been a lovely sunny day and so we have enjoyed time playing on the adventure playground again.  We have eaten very well, in fact we have probably all put weight on over the past few days!  We had a hearty breakfast, a huge lunch and we have just polished off spaghetti bolognese or sausage and mash followed by crumble and custard or fruit.  I think we will all sleep well tonight!  We will have lots of news to share with you tomorrow.
