MASS & SHOPPING DAY!!!

Hello! Good morning!! Today we woke up at 8 o’clock and we had breakfast. We ate cereals with milk. Because today is Sunday, the last one, we had no class.

So, after breakfast we went to the train station but all the trains were cancelled; so we decided to go to the city centre by bus. 

At 11 o’clock we went to the mass, some of us could bring the bread and the wine. After the mass, we went to McDonalds and we had our lunch. Some of us ate a hamburguer, others chicken sandwich and the others decided to take nuggets. We shared fries and we all had fizzy drinks or water. 

Then, we went to the Bullring to buy things. We spent there around 3 hours. However we couldn’t see the Worlfcup Final (Croacia agains France). 

After that, we returned to the accomodation by bus. When we arrived we played some games that require to run and to hide. 

At 7pm, we had dinner. We ate pizza!!!! And pasta and fries. For dessert we could choose between a piece of fruit and a cake. 

Then, we played “hide the ball” and “the director”. We also had time to go to the field to play more games like “police&thiefs”. 

After that, we had a shower, a prawer and some time to chat in the kitchen and to have a snack. Now we will go to sleep!

It was a fantastic day!!

MASTERCHEF DAY!!

Today we woke up at 8 o’clock, we had breakfast: some cereals, orange juice and a toast with butter and peach jam, and then we went to class. Today we had class because yesterday we went to London, so we had to recover yesterday’s class. 

In class we did a worship of sports and presentations. We learned different name of sports and the best for us are swimming, climbing and football. We liked this activity and then we did some presentations 

After that we met two new people: our new English teacher and another leader, Chema, he’s very friendly, funny and generous. Chema is here because today Rachel has gone, and we are going to miss her a lot!!!

For lunch we ate some hamburgers, salad, tomato and for dessert fruit and jelly. 

Our afternoon activity was exciting: we were doing Mastercheff. We had to do a recipe of a dessert, do a list of what we need and go to buy it to then cook it. We went all together to the supermarket, and we had to hurry up to buy everything. 

Then, we went to the kitchens to cook what we had designed: we did a “oreo rock ball” and a “beautiful like you”. They were made of, icre-cream, oreo, strawberries, chocolate, cream… Our mates did a “British cake” and “summer drink with hippo happy”. We did our best!!! 

We had Chinese noodles and for dessert what we had cooked, but first our leaders pretended to be the judges of MasterChef to see who is the winner: we’ve got a prize for originality and taste. 

After dinner we played two games: the people sleep and pi. Both very funny, we cannot chose which one we do prefer.

Now we are going to have a shower some kitchen and finally to sleep 

Good night.

Today we woke up at 7am, we had breakfast and we ate a toast with jam and juice or milk. We prepared our packed lunch and we went to the train station. Then we arrived to Birmingham New Street and walked to Moor Station. There, we took the train that goes directly to London. When we arrived we went to Hyde Park. 

We did our presentation and we walked through the park to go to the next stop. Our next stop was Harrods, a building with a lot of expensive and luxurious shops. Then, we walked to the Natural History Museum. There we read some information about London. Then, we had lunch. Our packed lunch wad made of a sandwich, chips and a kitkat. 

Later, we took a bus to go to Buckinham Palace. We did some more presentations and took a lot of pictures. To continue with the tour we went to the Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. The Big Ben was covered because it was being repaired. Then, we also saw the London Eye. After that, we took the underground to go to the London Bridge. In that stop we saw the bridge and the Tower of London. We also did our presentations and took pictures. 

Then, we took the underground again to go Picadilly Circus. There, some of us went to the M&Ms world and the others to Lego. After that, we bought some souvenirs and some also went to Hamleys, a gigant toy store. 

With this last stop we took the underground one last time to go London Station. The train to Birmingham was about 2 hours.

When we arrived to Birmingham, we had dinner in the city centre, in Pizza Hut. Then, we took a “two-flat” bus to return to the accomodation. 

We are very tired but it was a fantastic day!!!!!!

Now we will have a shower and we will go to sleep.

Good night!!

For lunch, we ate pasta with tomato sauce, garlic bread and fruit. After lunch we did more class and we showed our presentations to our friends.

The afternoon activity was a “scavenger hunt”. We had to take photos about some things that are placed in the fields and next to our accomodations. For example: a house with the name of a fruit or a photo looking like “the Beatles”.

Then, we had dinner. We ate potatoes with cheese and tuna, beans, fruit and a cake. After dinner we played some more football and we went to our flats. There, we revised our medals and we read the blog.
