FAMILIES
We
were so lucky as to be hosted by English families so we had the opportunity
to discover a reality which is different from ours. The first thing
that we noticed is how early they have their meals; at first we thought that we wouldn’t
be hungry at 6.30 pm but after a tough day and a quick lunch we realized
that it was just natural. Families were very nice and welcoming and
they always tried to include us in their daily activities like
watching TV together
after dinner It was a wonderful experience and we would love to repeat
that anytime!
THE TOUR
We visited the city of London
in three days, we went to the Tate Modern Gallery, we took a
walk along the Thames and we visited the GlobeTheatre.
Than we did a tour with some destinations: the British Museum, The National Gallery
and Buckingham Palace.We also had some time to do shopping in the main streets:
Oxford street,
Piccadilly Circus and Regent street.
CAMBRIDGE
On the third day we visited Cambridge, a little and welcoming town. It
took an hour and a half to reach Cambridge
from Northwood by coach.We were lucky because the sun was shining even though
it was really windy. We should had visited the King’s Chapel, but only
few of us did it because many preferred to stroll around and take a look at the
city.There were many stalls in the main square and kiosks of baked potatoes. In the afternoon we went to
the Fitzwilliam Museum where Mrs. Guadagnin illustrated
us some famous paintings. There were pictures by Modigliani, Monet, Renoir,
Picasso and many others.At 4 o’clock we came back to our families.
ST.HELEN’S SCHOOL
We went to St. Helen school on Wednesday. We
were divided in small groups and we followed all the lessons of our partner
student. We had lunch at the canteen and in the afternoon we took part in a n Art ab
activity . Finally we took part in a lesson about King Henry
VIII. It was a school only for girls. There were different buildings. They can
do four subjects and they have an examination at the end of the year. They also
have some free hours. They usually go in studying-classrooms and they can do
whatever they want. They wear an uniform.
WEMBLEY
Wembley reopened its doors in 2007. Every year
it hosts several events: football matches, concerts, etc.. We went there on
Saturday morning. In England
they consider Wembley Stadium “The church of football”. We went behind the
scenes of the stadium. We saw the dressing room and the press room and we
walked along the pitch and it was an amazing experience.
OUR OPINIOS
This experience tought us the meaning of words
that seem to be elementary but in effect they have a deep meaning: solidarity,
sharing, teamwork and reciprocal help. Above all we thank teachers (Mrs) Savio
and Guadagnin which,with their linguistic stage experiences, proposed to the
class interesting activities, by alternating school activities with spare time and entertainment.
