Year 6 Churcher’s Pupils enjoy French Trip

Churcher’s College Junior School Year 6 pupils had a fantastic time on the school's annual residential trip to France. They had the opportunity for adventurous activities, French speaking and reflection on our past.

The French trip started well with our journey being trouble free and shortly after arriving in France we visited the Nausicaa aquarium, which has some fascinating marine creatures and some entertaining sea lions! The next stop was a visit to the primary school that we have been in contact with, where the French children practised their English and Year 6 practised their French skills and showed photos of their pets and families. After a drink and a biscuit, we left and went to the war cemetery at Etaples. After a busy day, the children spent a reflective hour looking at the gravestones and the books of remembrance. The final activity after supper involved playing lotto, with Rosie winning twice in a row!

Our final adventure was to go sand sailing and (despite there not being a lot of wind) the children had fun whizzing around in the buggies, with some children going around cones and others knocking them over!

French Teacher Mrs Sophie Penfold said ‘By the look on their smiling faces, Year 6 will add the trip to France to their bank of happy memories from CCJS.’
