Our second academic excursion

On Thursday we had our second academic excursion in London.The theme of the excursion was plague and fire.We started from Queenswood in the morning and we did about one hour.When we arrived there firstly we had a tour in London to see some of the places that were in relation to our theme.The monuments that I found most interesting were the churchyard St.Olaves and the head of Samuel Pepys whose diary gives us lots of information about the Great Fire. An interesting fact that I learnt was that Samuel buried a big piece of cheese in the back garden of his house during the Great Fire .Then we went to the boat HMS Belfast which personally I think was the most interesting part of the excursion.We saw lots of guns and weapons.Aditionally we saw lots of mannequins.Then we went back to college.This was my last academic excursion at Queenswood and it was great.Tomorrow I am leaving.Generally my days at Queenswood were fantastic but unfortunately they passed very quickly!!!I did lots of interesting things and activities.I also learnt new things during the lessons and I met students from different nationalities!I hope Iwill come back next year because I had a great time!!!

My weekend

I would like to talk about my last weekend.Last Saturday we went to Cambridge.It was a fantastic excursion because we went for shopping.The shops were really nice and i bought some presents for my family and some souvenirs.Additionally we had a lot of free time.In the afternoon we went back to Queenswood and got ready for the disco.We danced and had fun.

On Sunday we went to the Thorpe park and it was great!!The weather was perfect so we enjoyed it a lot!I enjoyed most the roller coasters but then Iwas really tired because we were there for about 5 hours and it was exhausting.Then we had activities.I played softball and it was my first time but I had great time.That were the things that I did last weekend!!

My weekend

Academic Excursion

Yesterday we had our academic excursion in London.We started from Queenswood in the morning and the weather was sunny.We were in the bus for about one hour but the time passed very quickly because I was with my friends and we had fun in the bus. When we arrived we first had a tour of London and a guide showed us all the spooky places and told us the history of each one.It was interesting because I learned new things and I saw places that I had never seen before. Then we went to the Tower of London for about two hours. At first we bought some souvenirs of the Tower and then we had about one hour to visit some important places inside the tower. My friends and I visited the Bloody Tower but personally I believe that it wasn't interesting at all because it was too small and it has nothing at all in the tower.Finally we had lunch and we wen back at the college.

my journey

Hello!
I came on July 6th at Queenswood. I took the plane from Greece on Sunday morning.My flight lasted for three hours and 20 minutes.During the flight i was talking with my friends, listening to music and i was wathcing a dvd so the time passed very quickly.When i arrived at the Heathrow airport i had to wait 40minutes for my luggage but i was so excited that i did not care a lot.Then all the kids that we were going at Queenswood we took the bus and arrived at the college.The college is very nice and it has lots of activities and things to do.My day finished by writting an english test and then i went to my room for sleep.That was my journey!!
