• A Royal Britannia Visit!

  A familiar face visited our school on Monday 23rd April. The Queen visited our school, looking a little lost! After a brief assembly, it was clear that the Queen had lost her memory of historic London. It is up to Britannia Village pupils to help her!

• Lille final day!

  Fri 16 Jun 2017
  Blog day 5 - 

   

  On our final morning in Lille we packed our bags, removed our sheets and went down for breakfast. Then we got everything into the coach and made our way to Maison du Pain - a small independent bakery in the French countryside. Head baker Jacky taught us about the history of baking and introduced us to the different grains and ingredients used in his boulangerie and then the children had a chance to make their own pain au chocolats. While these baked we went on a tour of his kitchen which included a chance for some children to walk into the oven while it was on! (No children were harmed in the making of this pain au chocolat.) After that we ate the delicious treats while they were steaming hot in Jacky's garden then got on the coach to head to the ferry. Plenty of children slept on the journey and then after a bit of border control we drove into the ferry. We lunched and toileted and some of the children spent their remaining euros and then we stood on the deck and watch the chalky cliffs come into view. Now we are waiting for the ferry to let us off and looking forward to reuniting the children with all of their loved ones! It's been a fantastic trip and something all the children will remember for a long long time. Thanks for reading! 

  

• Lille day 4...

  Thu 15 Jun 2017
  Blog day 4 - 

   

  This morning the children were allowed a much needed lie in after the busyness of yesterday. We breakfasted at around 8:30 and then walked down the road to the local supermarket. Here the children were split into groups of four and allocated 15 euros to spend on their lunch. It was a lesson in independence, budgeting and compromise! There was also a competition to see which group would come back with the most change and the winners managed to get lunch for all of four them for less than seven euros... and they bought raspberries! After that we took the coach to the beautiful town of Ypres. The children ate their lunches sitting in front of the In Flanders Field Museum and then we went inside. There were worksheets for the children to complete and as we know how passionately the children love climbing stairs we let them go to the very top of the belfry tower for amazing views over the town and Belgian countryside. Next we went along to some of the shops including a fantastic Belgian chocolatiers' in which the children had the chance to spend some more of their money (if they had any left after Paris). Then we took the bus back to the hostel and the children showered and packed before heading into Lille for a posh Italian restaurant meal on what is our final night of this amazing trip. The children are all very much looking forward to seeing loved ones tomorrow - you have all been missed!
