Final Post before we return??

2007-10-04T05:47:00.000+02:00

Thanks for the comments received from so many of you. The children have been reading them, as you have probably noticed. We have had another few interesting days and the party is running out of steam. On Tuesday we went to visit a nearby coal mine , the Big Pit, and the Roman ruins at Caerleon. Today we visitied the Roman Baths at Bath. These were all very interesting.

Tomorrow we will be involved in the school assembly, i.e. saying farewells and thanks. There could well be a few tears from some quarters. We will try to create an opportunity to do a final update of the blog tomorrow, but we will have to see.

See you soon!!

Back in Chepstow - Monday 1 October 2007

2007-10-01T07:42:00.000+02:00

We're back in Chepstow after our bus trip from London. We watched the SA match versus USA at the hostel.

This update contains photos, which we did not have available before, of places visited while in London. The host families have collected the children and they have all gone to rest, hopefully, after a very busy, tiring five days. We experienced so much - thank goodness for photos to make some sense of the blur.

Please note that some of the children have posted comments on the last post, so go and have a look at them.

We're very pleased to note that our cricket boys had a great East Cape Cricket Festival. Well done to them. Jordan and Kyle are worried about their places in the squad!!

Keep the comments coming. We have more access to the blog now that we are back "home".

Only a week to go and we'll be back in our own beds. A busy programme lies ahead of us this week - so much to experience! We'll keep you posted!

The teachers!

We have had a busy few days in London, without an internet connection to provide you with the latest news and photos. We have walked and walked and walked and then some more. We know the underground tubes system backwards. The weather has been overcast with rain and drizzle around a lot. Yesterday we visited Madame Tussaudes, probably yesterday's highlight. Today we are off to the London Eye, amongst other places. We should be able to give you an update again tomorrow. We will pass on the birthday wishes to Curtis - I have printed them out for him.

Till later!
