@JeanetteNorfolk I hope they don't mention the slide!!!

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 to Miss Leon, Miss Matchett and Mr Savill who have worked tirelessly throughout the week and made it be such a smooth trip.

[French Trip @frenchtrip2018]

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.

Eta of 19:15. Got stuck in a bit of traffic around Dartford.

[French Trip @frenchtrip2018]

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.

Final excursion picture of the trip. It's been a great five days and the students have been excellent throughout.

Very modern art gallery.

[French Trip @frenchtrip2018]

We have arrived at La Louvre Lens. Lovely blue skies and a nice warm day to boot.

[French Trip @frenchtrip2018]

The final breakfast! Off to an art museum in Lens and then back to England. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇫🇷

Bit of a late night tonight but we are now all back in the hotel. #dayfourcomplete

The gift given to us by the crêperie.

[French Trip @frenchtrip2018]

An evening making crêpes in Boulogne. Some champion pancake flippers out there!

[French Trip @frenchtrip2018]

En route to Boulogne for our last evening in France. It's gone so quickly!

[French Trip @frenchtrip2018]

Getting to know our neighbours, apparently they speak excellent French!

[French Trip @frenchtrip2018]

Our friendly neighbours for the week. Some of the students have got really attached to them and they have now all got backstories and names.

[French Trip @frenchtrip2018]

An hour free to explore the dunes of Cayeux-sur-Mer. Lovely blue skies with a light breeze.

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!
