Good Evening this will be a short message on the blog as it is 10:45 and we are just going to bed. After a long 9 hour journey up from Chatel we have had a whistle stop tour around Paris by boat and coach, arriving at the hotel at 8:30 ready for a delicious meal and straight to bed.  All the children are excited about seeing Mickey and friends tomorrow at Euro Disney.  We are all looking forward to seeing you when we rreturn tomorrow night!  A bientot

Water, water everywhere!  Yes it was that kind of a day.  At nine am we set off for Le Pont du Diable (Devil's Bridge), from where we descended into a breathtaking gorge.  We saw the effects of water on rock over thousands of years and took lots of photos before climbing back up the five hundred steps we had come down.  Yes the ascent was much harder than the descent!! 'Is that Mrs Jeffrey puffed out?' Lunch was eaten by the side of Lake Geneva as we watched a fisher...

We are not sure what the weather is like in London, but the weather here is fantastic!  So we headed off in blazing sunshine to the ancient walled town of Yvoire.  We bought lots of presents for you as we wandered around the town enjoying the shade from the narrow streets. Ready for lunch and a dip in Lake Geneva we headed off to the nearby sandy beach at Excenevex. We weren't long in getting ourselves covered in suncream before running into the lovely warm water.  We enjoyed ...

The Year 6 party have just arrived safely in Chatel at 11 o'clock.  After a long journey the group have arrived tired but ready for the start of all the adventures we have ahead over the coming week. We will keep in touch so keep coming back to the blog and will post pictures on the next blog.

After lunch in our hotel we were pick up outside the hotel by a land train.  The land train took us down to the town of Chatel for us to explore the town.  We have been blessed by beautiful sunshine as we explored the town and the surrounding countryside. On arriving back at the hotel we unpacked our bags, well in some cases turned our cases upside down! and then had a deserved wash after a lovely day.  

The Year 6 have now left for the long drive to Chatel in France. Hopefully everyone will be asleep by the time the bus hits the M25 ! Keep checking for updates.
