French trip: so much fun!!

The morning: When we arrived, we met our penpals, although mine wasn’t there. Each group paired with a group of penpals and we went around the city filling a questionnaire Miss Couture made for us. I really liked our guide Manu who explained everything to us. I found the cannon balls in the façade of the Moret shop interesting. I think the morning was really fun! By Daniel 5C At 5:42A.M I woke up on Saturday 23rd June for my trip to Lille. Our group leader was the amazing Miss. Waterhouse. The journey was full of laughter with Karan eating chocolate buttons that early in the morning, Gabriel and Henry sleeping on top on each other and of course Mr. Thomas who had an all can eat buffet. (I think?) We arrived at 10:30 French time and there were our French pen pals sitting outside waiting for us. We had a questionnaire to fill in with some of our pen pals. Off we went to explore the lovely town of Lille. We had to find out all sorts of difficult questions. After a great morning with our pen pals we had to say goodbye and go for a quite simply delicious lunch. I had a ham and butter baguette, which was delicious. After that came probably the most famous French patisserie! The second best part of the day was the fantastic museum which is the second biggest in France. The trip was amazing and a great day out for all the boys that went on the trip and a massive thank you to Miss Couture for organising the trip and making it possible. By Jonah 5W
