Hopefully the students have had a great time (they seemed to when I was asking today!) and have many memories and moments to share with you. #dayfivecomplete#tripover#dropthemic 🎤
Thank you for all the kind words this evening and throughout the trip. It's been a real pleasure to take all 31 of the students away, they've been amazing. It was wonderful to get to know them outside of the classroom environment.
The driver noticed a lot of traffic at Dartford and the students have been stuck on the coach for a long time due to the queue at Calais therefore we made a short stop at a service station to allow a toilet break and the opportunity to get food. We are now back en route. 7pm eta.
We are back in England. 🏴. Google maps currently saying we are two hours away from The Ongar Academy. Therefore we should be arriving close to the eta of 6:30. I will update if we are arriving any later.
It's taken a long time (two hours of queuing) but we are on the train and heading back to England. Once again great behaviour from our students who have made this trip a real pleasure.
A few pictures from our visit to the chocolate factory. What these pictures can't show are the smell in the factory. I think I could've happily sat there all day with that smell of chocolate! The students have bought many chocolate gifts... the question is how many will eat them!
