NEW WEEK, SOME NEW THINGS

     From today I have to catch The bus everyday in the morning and in the afternoon. So I had to get up earlier than last week. I met Belen at the bus stop. Though for a moment we felt lost we got straight to Parish Church stop and from there to the school.
     In class we did some exercises about London and Warwick. We also made and exercise about Murillo the Spanish painter. At break time we could enter and see our blog.
     After lunch we walked in Leamington and did some shopping. We all met at the bus stop and went to 10 Pin Bowling. This time we enjoyed more than last week. We are learning how to play and we all scored better figures.
     Back to Leamington we had to wait for long time to the bus. In town Belen and me took our bus. We already know where to stop so we got home easily.
     I had dinner and I called my parents by skype. We the family I watched some tv programmes before I went to bed.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

     Today I woke up at 7·30. After dressed me up and breakfast we went to Lawrence’s school and then to mine. I arrived early so I had to wait for the opening door. A man came and he opened the doors for us. Me and Nieves waited inside doing our scrapbook. But arriving Mrs Payne we started preparing a Card for Álvaro because today is his Birthday.
     In class we practiced how making telephone calls. So Álvaro phoned each one inviting us to his party. Beside this we learnt more new words.
     Today was not raining so we went to the park for our lunch. It was planned going to Rugby but as we won’t be able to visit Rugby School, we went to Warwick for sports. We had fun at Adventure Mini Golf. It was hard to start putting but we scored quite nice results. In fact I won with 49 in 18 holes. When we finished we went to a near park enjoying a lot in its play fields. In town we ate chips and chicken because we were very hungry.
     Everybody caught the bus going home. But Sue came to pick me up and we walked in the park until it was time to fetch Claudio and Lawrence. We went home and sat together. We had dinner and watched tv. I had a shower and now I’m doing this diary. I feel tired because today has been a very amazing day.

FAMILY'S DAY

     Today I got up at 9 o’clock. Sam (the mum of Nieves’ family) picked me up at 10 because we were going shopping in Birmingham. Nieves wanted to change the shoes she bought for smaller ones. I bought a present for my dad and another for my sister. I don’t know what to buy for my mum… :(
     After shopping we arrived in Leamington and went to Sam’s house for lunch. When I was back in my house I painted with Aaliyah, played pool with Lukell and we all played hide-and-seek.

TRIP TO LONDON

     Today I woke up earlier than other days because we go to London. After breakfast we collect Belén from her house and went to Newbold Terrace, our meeting point. As everybody were in time we went to the railway station to catch the train that in one hour and a half took us into London.
     In London we moved by underground. First we went to Convent Garden Market and The Royal Opera House. On foot we got to the British Museum. There we visited the rooms for Egypt and the Mummies, and the Rosetta Stone.     Then we went to The Tower of London and crossed The Tower Bridge. From this side of river Thames we caught a bus for Waterloo Station, and from there we crossed Westminster Bridge and we saw the Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey.
     After our visit we went to Piccadilly Circus. We looked for some presents to buy there and along Regent Street, where Hamleys is, until Oxford Circus. In our way to the train station we visited 221B Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes House, where we took some photos of us disguised as the detective. At the station we met people from others groups in Birmingham.
     We all caught the train and back in Leamington I had dinner with my family. Finally I went to sleep because I was really tired.

We didn’t have much time so I had to have breakfast in the car. First we went to Lawrence’s friend’s house we took them to their school and after that we went to my school and I arrived at half past eight. There I met Nieves. We were waiting for Álvaro, Javier, Laura, Belén and for Fr Jesús.
     We all were in time. In class Mrs Payne wanted us to speak about yesterday at the Bowling. We said how we enjoyed a lot and after that we did grammar games which were really amazing. After the break we did comprehension and translation from a text about Aliatar’s horse.
     At half past twelve we went to the train station and there we had lunch waiting for the train which will take us to Coventry. First we went to Planet Ice where we ice-skated. Nieves, Belén and me can skate quite well and we taught Álvaro, Javier and Laura to skate. We had fun. Everybody fell down once at least but it was really amazed.

When I was ready we went to a Claudio’s friend’s party. When we finally came back home I wrote this diary. Now I’m going to bed because I’m very tired. Today has been a very excited and funny day. :P
