Good morning families! It’s time to start packing. We’ll be back in a couple of days, are you nervous? We wish we could stay longer at the language course abroad. After breakfast we went to class. It was the last day of English lessons for most of us, so in the last period we attended the graduation ceremony where we were given a certificate and a graduation hat. The students kept the graduation hat on even at lunchtime. We then went back to the accommodation to brush our teeth and get ready for the presentations. Afterwards, the students presented their…

Good morning everyone! Only a few more days until we fly back home. We wish we could stay longer in the English course abroad… After an early breakfast we went to class.

DAY 7 Bournemouth – Day trip to London!
Good morning everyone! Is there any better way to start the weekend than a day trip to London? After a delicious breakfast we set off by coach at 9 a.m. to the capital. Conversation never let up during the 2h 30 min journey. Due to the protests our plans changed. Originally we were going to stop off at Leicester Square, however because of the Trump related protests we instead headed for Westminster. Once we arrived the students were taken on a walking tour of House of Parliament, Big Ben, Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. For lunch we enjoyed a much…

We won’t have any more lessons until Monday. We’ve worked really hard this week so we deserve a fun weekend. After a really quick lunch we went to our rooms to get ready…
