FRIDAY 24TH : SCHOOL AND HEVER CASTLE

LAST DAY HAS ARRIVED.

WORKING AT SCHOOL.


 

Today, first of all we have gone to school with our families and the suitcases ready to leave later.
We have divided the class in two groups. One group has been preparing a composition for the Chiddingstone blog about the traditional dances we danced in the Maypole Festival, and the other group has been preparing the costumes for the play " The Jungle Book".



 


 








Later on we have seen their school assembly. And when it has finished, we have had lunch lunch. Some of the children of year 6 had taken some packet lunches for us. After that we have been playing cards in the class, or taking part in different games in the playground.





IN THE  SCHOOL ASSEMBLY.




Finally and although the rain, we have visited Hever Castle and we have played in the park. At four o'clock, it was time to say goodbye to our friends from Chiddingstone and come back to the airport to take the plane to Barcelona where our families are waiting to see us again.
