Every day is the same routine, getting up and ready, having breakfast and going for the lessons. Today the bus service was horrible full of people and no everybody could seat. We work in our lessons the comparatives and more thing with games and songs.

      When we finished the lessons we met Fr Sorribes who wished us the best for this summer and the year to come. Then we went to Birmingham by train. There we visited The Pen Centre in the Jewellery Quarter. There were a lot of pens or nibs because Birmingham was very important place for this industry. We also were able to practise the handwriting with feathers. Then we went back to the city centre and had some free time for some shopping.

      We went back to our families and we had dinner. It was another day in England.

SWIMMING IN THE SUN

     Today we had a very nice day. As everyday we startes the class at nine o’clock and we learned a lot of different things. Aslo we were listening some songs and do a lot of exercises.

      At 12:00 we finishedthe class and after we had lunch, we went to the simming pool and enjoyed it a lot because we went through the slim. Also we were practising the songs that we are going to sing in the Farewell on Friday.

      After that we came back to town to catch the buses to go back home. We spent the evening enjoying with our families.

OXFORD

      Today at 9 o’clock we went to school like every day. We learnt the passive and active voice and we heard two songs about the conditional and passive voice.

      After the lessons we went to the railway station. We had to wait the train for half an hour. After that we arrived in Oxford. We visited the city centre and we entered University College. We also visited the oldest library of Oxford. Then we had free time to go shopping and we bought a lot of things.
      Back in Leamington we went home and we enjoyed with our families.

DISCOVERING ROYAL LEAMINGTON SPA

      Today before starting the English lessons at 9 o’clock, we were planning what to do for the Party and Farewell next Friday evening. In class we revised the sonnets we wrote last week. We also did some exercises in pairs on conversations as between a doctor and his patients. We practised the prepositions and learnt a bit more about their use as we have some confusions when to use one or another.

      After class we went to the park to have our lunch. In the afternoon we explored Leamington with an across the board game. It was not easy to follow the instructions some times because we didn’t understand the instructions sometimes for we got confused between east and west. Some of us found it difficult for we had to walk.

      When time was over we went to the Bowls lawn and had a game. It seems to be easy get de bowls near the jack but it is not because the bowls are not balls and they roll turning one or other side. People passing by stared at us thinking we were practising for the next week National Championship of English Bowls in Leamington.

TRIP TO ALTON TOWERS

      Today we went to Alton Towers. We were in Newbold Terrace at 8:15 except Fr J who arrived late when everyone was in the coach. We arrived in Alton Towers at 10:30 and we went to the rides in groups of 5-6. We went firstly to Oblivion and then to Thirteen and to The Smiler, the new ride from this year. It is amazing, but we were queuing for an hour, what was short time if we compare that when we arrived they show the queue was for 180 minutes. From The Smiler we went to Rita and because we had some time left we went back to Oblivion.

      At 5:30 we met everybody and took the coach back to Leamington. On arriving at 8:00 pm I went to Aunty’s house for dinner and stayed for a film. When I was back home I went straight to sleep.

THE SUN IS SHINING

      As every day we have our English lessons from 9:00 to 12:20. We have some discussions for our vocabulary, some writing and some listening. We enjoy the lessons and we learn a bit more day bay day.

      After having lunch we started playing football in the park. Parks are full of people because we are having a very nice weather and they like to take sunbath as is quite unusual to have 25 or more degrees. They say that we are the ones bringing good weather to England.

      We went then to the swimming pool. It is an indoor facility and there were not many people when we arrived. So we could enjoy every thing much more, the Jacuzzi, the Slim, and we played a lot.

STRATFORD-UPON-AVON AND WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

      Today after lunch we went to Stratford-upon-Avon by train. We visited William Shakespeare’s Birthplace. His father had a large house for he worked the leather manufacturing gloves basically. In the house we saw his father’s workshop but also the different rooms in the house, the bedrooms with several beds and one single wardrobe and the fireplace for heating the rooms in the cool of winter. We went into the gardens very big and pretty nice with lots of flowers. There were some actors that were playing short speeches from Shakespeare’s works. Today they were playing parts of Hamlet.

      Then we went to The Swam Theatre built in 1879 but keeps the atmosphere of the old theatres as The Globe in London were Shakespeare started playing as actor and representing his owns plays. There we were able to wear some clothes from different characters in his plays. We looked very nice ready to go to the stage and perform… But we were not ready because we had no texts by Shakespeare at hand.

      In town we had some time for us to walk and see other places and shops. It was a very special nice day.
