Second Form Resisential Trip to Normandy
After a midnight arrival at L‘Etoile de la Mer, our accommodation in Normandy for the week, we awoke to a wonderful French breakfast and headed out to the market to buy our lunch of baguettes, saucisson and tarts.
We had an ‘udderly’ fantastic time at the Goat Farm learning about these cheeky animals, before heading to the beach and a scavenger hunt just before the sunset, rock-skimming, shell hunting and sand castles.
The visit to Chateau de la Baudonniere involved archery, kneading some dough-licious bread and navigating like true champs in orienteering. Followed by an evening when we savoured snails, competed in a hilarious French quiz and a wild fancy dress party!
A highlight was undoubtedly the visit to Mont Saint-Michel; from the tour of the historic ramparts and the Abbey-wide treasure hunt, to the adventurous 8-mile trek through water, beach and quicksand. And we ended the day with our King’s Got Talent show, where we had it all: singing, dancing, acrobatics, comedy sketches, musicals, stand-up, the loudest scream in the world and even food challenges! The teachers brought the house down with a special rendition of ‘Dance Monkey’!
What a fantastic end to our Normandy adventure! From French breakfast delights to sandy masterpieces in our sand art contest and a First place, show-stopping performance by Kasper at King’s Got Talent - Hamilton vibes all the way! Beach volleyball followed by a picnic on the coach, were the perfect finale to a trip where memories for life were made.
