Xavier Agostini:
"My favourite parts from the French Trip were when we saw animals like penguins, turtles, sea lions, sharks and a 4-D movie at the aquarium. Playing at the beach was fun with activities like football, cricket and races. Room inspection was fun especially the bribes that the pupils used."
Ciaran Cartmell;
"I enjoyed going to Nausica because of the seals which jumped out of the water and dived back in. Also I loved playing on the beach, especially playing football where we could slide tackle and dive. The room inspections were also very funny because everyone was trying to bribe the teachers and entertain them for extra marks."
Jens Clausen;
"My favourite part of the trip was when we went to the cheese farm. I liked going down to the cellar to see the cheese. I also enjoyed the beach because we played rugby, cricket, rounders and we made trenches. The room inspections were also very fun."
George Farley;
"The French Trip was just absolutely amazing. the two main things that stood out for me were going on the beach and just messing around and the other thing is at the hotel, going into each others' room and the room inspections. I wish we could do it again!"

'My Highlight of the French Trip'
"I found that The Azincourt Museum was a highlight for me on the French Trip along with the amazing beaches, you don't find those kinds of beaches in London! The french trip was amazing and I would love to visit again."
Oliver Hickey;
"My favourite parts of the French Trip have got to be when we went to Nausica and the snail farm. Nausica was great because we could get so close to the sea creatures, go underwater and even touch sting rays and fish. The snail farm was great because we got to see thousands of snails and try snail pate. The pate was so nice I bought a jar to take home!"
Dominic Kevan;
"I enjoyed all of it but there are 3 that stand out. 1 was Norsica seeing tortoises and sharks and other sea creatures. 2nd was the beach which was really fun playing with my friends and finally the room inspection was really fun I partnered with Zack and we break danced and we also won the competition and we won a reward."
George O'Regan;
"I really enjoyed the aquarium because I learnt about all the types of exotic fish and also there was an amazing tunnel made from glass so you could see sea lions twirling around you from all angles."
Alexander Pissarro;
"My favourite things about the French trip were playing on the beach with all my friends and at the aquarium we saw penguins, sea lions and stingrays it was amazing."
Joseph Quant;
"My favourite part of the trip was going to the beach and playing beach rugby/football. I also enjoyed going to the aquarium and meeting the penguins. I would definitely go again!"
Shem Reid;
"Before carrying on I would just like to thank all the teachers that went they really went the extra mile. My favourite activity was rugby on the beach and Azincourt. It was my first ever time to france, it was great fun."
James Stallard;
"My highlight of the trip was definitely being on holiday with my friends and getting a new hat, also when Gus dropped mouthwash all down his shirt just before the room inspection."
William Stanton;
"The French Trip was fantastic, I enjoyed all of it, but especially going to the beach and seeing the penguins at Nausica."
