BIRMINGHAM JEWELLERY QUARTER

On Thursday, after having our usual morning lessons with Mrs Payne and Mr Khalid, we went to Birmingham by train. When we were there, we visited the Jewellery Quarter Museum. There we learnt how the jewels were made. The place we visited used to be a factory during the 19th century. It was really interesting to learnt how was the routine of the workers and all the rules they had to follow so they couldn't keep any of the gold, even gold dust. And all of them had to be really skilled too, because making jewellery was so difficult!
After that, we went to a big shopping centre in Birmingham called The Bullring, where we bought a lot of things, such as clothes.
When we finished all the shopping, we returned to Leamington and then came back home with the host families and we spent a really nice evening.
