Tea... And Home!




After a great week it's time for the last leg of the journey - the trip home! The children have been absolutely smashing, we've all had a fantastic time and learned a whole lot about the history of one of Britain's most fascinating cities. We've heard of Romans, Angles, Vikings and Victorians. Chocolate, Guy Fawkes and Nerf guns - it's been quite a week. The teachers would like to thank all parents and families for such polite, well brought up children. They were truly a credit to you all, and in two and a half hours... They're all yours!













Cruise on the Ouse




Here are some photos of our cruise on the Ouse. We had a special boat put on for us and listened to a fascinating account of York history as we sailed. Including stories of Guy Fawkes, a famous son of York. After the cruise we walked back to the hotel through the old town, getting some chips to share on the way!
Then it was off to bed after another interesting experience!

Castle Museum




This afternoon we went round the Castle museum. We were taken by Craig who was dressed as a Victorian apple seller. He took us down the Victorian street and explained all about the different trades and lifestyles of the Victorians. The street was too dark to take good pictures but it was a fascinating afternoon.
