Homeward bound

Well guys, the time has come to make our way home. We have spent the day wandering around central London. I loved Carnaby St which is a cute little shopping area in Soho. We are now at the airport waiting for our flight.
See you all back at school next week!
Love Mrs Clark x

FCBarcelona Hoquei wins!

We went to watch the big game and Barcelona won 8 - 2! It was very exciting and there was lots of noise from all the supporters who were singing, clapping and beating drums.

Barcelona Hockey Team

Today we travelled to Palau Blaugrana to meet the Barcelona Hockey Team. They are the best in the world! Nathan was very excited. We watched them train for their big game tomorrow. We will be there to watch them win!

Barcelona

We are staying in 'Cituat Vella' which means the old city of Barcelona. It is also known as the gothic quarter and we walk past some beautiful old buildings every day.

Park Guell

Gaudi designed this fantastic park for all the people of Barcelona to enjoy. He was able to blend his ideas and designs with nature.

Sagrada Familia - Barcelona

Famous architect 'GAUDI' designed this breathtaking church called Sagrada Familia. He died before the church was finished, but luckily he made a big model that others could use to finish the church.The Sagrada Familia is a mixture of gothic and Art Nouveau styles. Gaudi used lots of ideas from nature in his designs. He wasn't afraid to try new ideas.
I think it is the most beautiful church that I have ever seen. Inside it is so peaceful and spiritual - it really takes your breath away.

Casa Batlló - Barcelona

This cool house called Casa Batlló was decorated by Antoni Gaudí in the years 1904–1906. He is a famous architect in Barcelona.
It seems that the goal of Gaudi was to avoid straight lines completely - like Hundertwasser. Much of the outside is decorated with mosaics made of broken ceramic tiles. Inside is amazing and full of surprises!
Gaudi is my new favourite designer.

Sacré-Cœur

The Sacré-Cœur Basilica is perched on top of a hill and can be seen from all over Paris. There are many amazing sculptures and paintings inside. It took 39 years to build it!

Notre Dame

The Notre Dame is a very famous gothic, roman, cathedral in Paris. Can you find the name of a famous film that used the Notre Dame as the setting for the story?

Pizza in Roma

Hi guys this is Nathan, Mrs Clarks son. When you order one slice of pizza in Rome it's bigger that your head !! I had a fantastic time in Rome and I loved the Roman colosseum.

Pompeii - ITALY

Pompeii is a roman city in Italy that was buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. It was lost for 1700 years before it was discovered again in 1749.
Today you can visit the ruins of Pompeii. What can you find out about what happened to the people of Pompeii?

Arc de Triomphe

The Arc de Triomphe is one of the most famous monuments in Paris. It stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle. Can you find out who it honours?

Le petit dejeuner ce matin

Our hotel is so posh we have to dress up for breakfast!

Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower is the tallest building in Paris. Can you find out how many steps there are?

Paris -FRANCE

Bonjour mes enfants. Je suis arrivee a Paris!! We are staying at a very posh hotel called the 'Saint James Paris'. I think that I would like to stay and live here!

Amalfi Coast Lemons

The Amalfi Coast is famous for growing lemons. As you drive around the mountains, you can see terraces on the side of the mountains where the lemon trees grow. The lemons are huge, juicy and much sweeter than ours.
Many things are made with lemons but the most famous is a drink called 'Limoncello'.

Positano school

Today we were having breakfast on our balcony and we looked across to the other side of Positano and saw a bus let off loads of kids. They all ran down a steep pathway to what must be their school. The school is the buildings with the spotty bits on the windows - they are flower pictures.
Imagine your school being on the side of a mountain!

Grotto Azzurra

The most amazing thing to see in Capri is the Blue Grotto, a huge cave with intense blue water and a magical silvery light. You have to hire a row boat to visit the cave.

Positano

This is the view of Positano from down at the beach. You can see that the whole town is built on the side of a really steep mountain. Walking around Positano is very good for fitness!

Isle of Capri

We took the Positano jet boat to the island of Capri off the coast of Naples. Capri is a famous resort island which has loads of fancy shops and restaurants. It is very beautiful.
To get to the top of the mountains you can walk for days (!!) or take the 'funicular' - cable car. Guess what we chose?
There were lots of groups of school children visiting Capri from France and Italy.
