Year 8 Trip to Normandy
Class of Normandy 2010: “Bravo Les 53 Year 8”
On Friday 28 May a shining double decker coach was ready to take an eager party of Year 8 students to the Château de Chantereine in Crieil near Dieppe.
On the way to Normandy they first stopped at the Boulogne aquarium and enjoyed a sea lion show, presented in French. After settling in the Château they took part in their first evening of activities: fencing, wall climbing and archery.
On Saturday, after a hearty pancake breakfast, they sampled the hustle and bustle of a French market in Dieppe. Then they were whisked away to a farm in Neufchatel for a French lesson on the art of cheese making, and finished the day in the delightful orchard of a cider farm.
On Sunday, after attending Mass in the picturesque village of Criel, our intrepid linguists were ready for a cultural visit to Rouen and its famous cathedral.
Finally on Monday, after a last bout of fencing in front of the Chateau, there was time for a French shopping experience at a local supermarket before heading back to New Hall. Au revoir la Belle Normandie...à l’année prochaine!
