Photos and video for coaches A B and C

Mr Rayne is preparing a video for Coach D which will be available soon.  Judging by the photos which he has already sent to the blog it is going to be excellent!

Meanwhile, below you can find links to photos of Coaches A B and C, stored on Fronter.

Miss Myers has made a 22-minute video which brings all the photos together to the accompaniment of five French songs and incorporates captions in French.  Good past tense practice for your lessons hopefully!  If ever you are asked to describe a school trip in the past tense, you can look back at this video and steal some phrases!

Fronter can only store files which are smaller than 1GB.  If anyone finds the computer-sized version too small and wants the higher resolution version, (1.6 GB) please contact Miss Myers at school.

Positive booklets

It has been lovely to read how much pupils have learnt and enjoyed this week.  Here is a small selection of comments:
 

















 
 
 

Coach D return

Miss Retter: back safe and sound.  Uno kept us occupied in the queue.  We have had an ace week!

Horse amuses adjacent coaches in queue

Smooth changeover

We are very impressed at how smoothly the changeover went.  Replacement driver ready and waiting. ETA 10.33!!!

Farewell to Pawel!

We are so sorry to be losing our lovely coach driver after a very long day.

Delays still

Because of delays beyond our control we are going to be arriving late but at this point we cannot be precise... hopefully by 10.30. Driving regulations for coach drivers sensibly have restrictions on how long a driver can be on the road and so at the next service stations there will be a driver changeover.  Pupils are still patient!

Douvres... enfin

Coach B still being delightfully patient.. we are all looking forward to being home! ETA approx 10.15

Coach B update

Having queued for several hours we caught the 1955 ferry French time.  The phone chain will be activated again when we are leaving Dover.

Fun in the queue!

We know how to enjoy ourselves when delayed...!
