French Trip: Day 4

Bonjour! Everyone slept really well, and after a lovely breakfast, we're all ready for a final, amazing day in France!

We visited the village of Sainte-Mère-Église, where the children will saw the church and have a chance to buy things in the shops. The church famously has the parachute memorial commemorating the story of John Steele, whose parachute caught on the church steeple on D-Day.

The children will also saw the Airborne Troops museum, which had lots of amazing, interactive exhibits. They also had a chance to experience what it felt like to parachute out of a plane on D-Day!

We then got back on the coach and headed off to the ferry in Cherbourg. Once again, the children had fun playing cards, watching animated films and singing a variety of songs.

We had an enjoyable ferry trip, in which the children had supper, went to the shops, played bingo and even sang some karaoke!

It's the end of another wonderful French trip. The children have been truly fantastic and have made everyone proud of them. They have learnt so much and have made memories that will last a lifetime, and be one more highlight, of many, of their time at St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Primary School.

Au revoir!
