WORKSHOPS DAY

Today we could rest more than yesterday, because we didn't need to rise early.

After some grammar and doing the break we went back to classes with our teachers and leaders. Some of us saw how the plants grow up and we put in a cup some seeds with wet paper.

Afterwards, we had lunch, we ate macaroni with three type of sauces and jelly, profiteroles or chocolate with banana. Then,  we return to the residence to do workshop. We were divided in groups and we were going to the different kitchens. We were able to sang in the sing star, make a dog with balloons, Edu taught us how to do the wave with the arms, painted the flag of the united kingdom and we did percussion with a cup and the table. We enjoyed a lot the workshops and we hope we could have more time to repeat them.

After that, we had our second day of sports and we played dodgeball. We had a really good time, and then we had a shower and prepared for dinner. There, we met our new leader Alex, who has just arrived.

Now, we are doing a Quizz Contest, that leaders prepared, about BCU, English food, UK Culture, Timetable and of them.

Then, we will go to the kitchen and have some fun with our mates.

Today it was a routine day, but we enjoyed it a lot.

We continued our way passing by Harrods, the most expensive department store in London, where the most luxurious items are found. Continuing our route through Buckingham Palace, we got to see the change of guard. We also noticed that the Queen was inside, but unfortunately, she wasn't in the balcony. Continuing by the Mall street, we get to Trafalgar Square and we took a picture with the lions, similar to the ones of Colon monument and Congreso de los diputados.
