VISITING BIRMINGHAM

Today we met our teachers, Alison and John. To encourage us to learn English they asked us to build bridges as languages are between people.

In the afternoon we went to Birmingham by train. When we arrived Fr Jesús told us about the long jewellery tradition in Birmingham. In this quarter we visited The Pen Room, a museum and learning centre of writing and pen trade memorabilia for more than a century. We have learnt about the different manufacturing processes and we tried to write with a quill. To finish this beautiful (and I must say sunny) day we went to the Bullring shopping but we had only 30 min to do that because of the time to return to our houses and we got back later than we thought.
