The School Business Manager goes to France

In the last week of the Summer Term, a Modern Foreign Language trip went to the North of France for 4 days, to enable the pupils to use and develop the French that they had been taught during the school year. I was asked to go on the trip as deputy party leader and jumped at the chance to escape my normal day to day routine of working in my office at school. Ms Stone, Miss Gouda, Miss Mather and Mr Sherrington also went on the trip, with a total of 31 pupils from years 8, 9 and 10.

The party stayed at Maison de la Varenne and we arrived there on Monday 21st July after a long coach journey and a trip on the Eurostar through the Channel Tunnel.

On the Tuesday the party went to the seaside port of Dieppe, where the pupils were given free time to explore the town and market, and given the opportunity to use their speaking skills. In the afternoon we went round a farm and learned how the goats are milked and the cheese is produced. On the Wednesday we went to a snail farm in Sommery, where the lady explained how the snails are grown from eggs and made into the edible delicacies which are very popular in France.

Thursday, the last day of the trip, we packed our bags and after loading the coach, we made our way to Boulogne to visit Nausicaa, a large sea life centre. Then, in the afternoon the coach made its way back to Calais to board the Eurostar for the journey home. After a lengthy trip up the motorway, the coach arrived safely back at school where pupils were reunited with their parents and the staff breathed a sigh of relief that the trip had been such a success.
