HERE IS WHAT OUR STUDENTS THOUGHT ABOUT THE TRIP

On the first day after we got off the ferry, we unpacked and played a friendly match of volleyball! After that we went for a walk on the beach.

On the second day we travelled by coach to the Bayeux tapestry. After that we headed over to Caen to do some shopping. On the way we visited William the Conqueror's castle.

Personally, I think this was the best shopping trip as it had a Sephora!

On the third day we saw the Mont St Michel and took a long walk up to the top. I think if you are ever visiting Normandy you need to go here!

On the final day we visited a war museum and a 360 degrees cinema which showed real footage from the war and genuine interviews. After that we went down to the nearby market and got lunch.

Ordering by ourselves really helped us learn new language and expand our vocabulary. I am really glad I was given this opportunity as it taught me independence and has definitely had an impact on my ability in French.

I really enjoyed our trip to Normandy this year! We were all up at 4am, eager to go on the ferry. As soon as we arrived, we were embracing the authentic French culture by eating traditional food and visiting traditional markets. We saw the beautiful Bayeux Tapestry and visited many other museums, in which we learnt lots. The food was amazing, ranging from fromage, des baguettes et tartes français traditionnelles. C'est delicieux.

We took many walks down the beach in the sunset. One night, we even got to dance at the local Fete De la Musique. During the trip we learnt many useful phrases. For instance, "Où est le gel douche?" meaning "Where is the soap" in the supermarket, as our bathrooms had no soap!

We spent our evenings playing intense volleyball matches and board games. I especially enjoyed looking at the modern museums and eating French ice cream, as well as interacting with French people in the markets.

Overall, the trip was extremely memorable and fun! I became friends with more of my classmates who I did not know that well before. I learnt lots, about French language and culture as well.
