Our Trip To France
Last term Class 5 went to Frevent in France to visit our penpals at their school. We got on the coach at 5.30.a.m. It was very early but some of us had been awake since 2 they were so excited.
The coach left on time and our long journey began
We travelled for approximately half an hour to the Tunnel and went through loads of entry gates. After what seemed a long time we got on to the shuttle for the 30 minute journey to France.
We arrived at the school at 7.30 (8.30 French time.) It is called Ecole St. Exupery and when we arrived we all walked into a long room where our penpals greeted us with a welcoming song in English. Then we all went to our penpals and lots of them gave us presents. We got into groups and had a tour of the school and played new games.
We had lunch then afterwards we got back on our bus and went to Azincourt, our penpals came on another coach. We all looked round a museum.
Soon it was time to go. We hugged our penpals a lot of them cried and one called Sandy was flooded with tears.
On the way back we were delayed because the French were trying out a new scanner on their
coach but soon enough they finished and then we went home.
It was a long day but we enjoyed it.

Two’s Too is the next step up and is a smaller group that meets on Friday mornings from 9 until 11am.
Parents & Toddlers is the bigger group that meets every Wednesday morning from 9 until 11am. There is always messy play, cutting and sticking. The Health Visitor holds a surgery on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month.
All
these groups run in Term Time only in The Family Centre at Hythe
Community School in Cinque Ports Avenue and are hosted by Shirley
Macfarlane, the Family Support Worker.
In
all three toddler groups reading and singing with the children is
actively encouraged.
We also appreciate that for the baby and age defined groups, parents have older children as well.
They are welcome within these groups as long as parents respect the smaller children’s space.
