LONDON!!

On the 11th of July, we visited London!!! Although everybody was really nervous, all of us arrived on time at Newbold Terrace at 8.15 a.m. We caught the train and we arrived in London in one hour an a half! We played cards in the train all together.

The first thing we saw in London was a street show. It made us laugh a lot and even, one of us, Maria, participated in.

Our transports in London were the underground and the public bus (the red ones). Thanks to them, we were able to visit a lot of places. Firstly, we visited one of the most famous markets in London: the Covent Garden. After that, we went to the British Museum, where we listened to Father Jesus explanations. We also visited Saint Paul's cathedral and we walked through two important bridges in London: the Millennium Bridge and the Tower Bridge. Then, more or less, at half past one, we had our packed lunches next to the Tower of London. After lunch, we went to the Houses of the Parliament and to the Westminster Abbey. Then, we kept on walking until we arrived at Trafalgar Square. Once there, we went to Piccadilly Circus, where our free time started. Some of us visited "Hamleys", an enormous toy's shop. At half past five, we met with the rest of the group and we visited the last thing in London: Sherlock Holmes' house. We caught the train back to Leamington and our families picked us up at Newbold Terrace.

We had a good time in London!

SWIMMING POOL

On the 10th of July, we attended our last week class. We did some vocabulary related to detectives, thieves... and Ruth also explained us some things about London (our next visit). Our afternoon activity was sports & swimming pool. We played baseball on the grass and then, we went to the swimming pool, which is really big: it has got two swimming pools, one for children and another one used to improve swimming skills. After that, we went back home and we had dinner with our dearest English families.
