Amsterdam Blog Day 3

We started this morning by eating the Meininger’s fabulous breakfast.

We returned to the lobby after getting our stuff together and caught a tram to the really fun park from that we visited on Monday.

We had a play and then made our way to the oldest synagogue in Europe, The Portuguese synagogue.

We received an audio guide to tell us more information about the synagogue including that the only reason the synagogue wasn’t turned into a deportation centre during World War two was because the seventy-two giant windows would have been too hard to black-out.

After that, we went to the Jewish Historical Museum children’s section.

We got to make matzah, play PLENTY of instruments, sit on a giant ottoman pouf, which resembled the sea (lots of bumps and lumps), and even got to stand on a glass ceiling and look down three floors!

We headed to the adult section and read all about many things such as what happened to the Jewish population during the war and when it was over.

During lunch we went back to the park and played as I, Daniella, had a very engaging conversation about our opinions on “celebrity drama” with Mr Robson and Miss Berrett.

P.S. it was really warm and sunny so we had to wear lots of sunscreen.

We walked (or should I say jumped and skipped) to Madame Tussauds where we had the absolute time of our lives!

Everyone got to meet their idols and inspirations. Jessica got to meet Thor, Hadi met Captain America, Mr Robson met Adele, Mrs Yedd met Daniel Craig, of course, Daniella met Ariana Grande, and most important of all, Miss Berrett got to meet her idol, Beyonce.

We have no words to describe how wonderful our day was, despite it being our last day in Amsterdam city centre. See you tomorrow, on our very last day.

We miss you all so much,

Daniella, Hadi, Jessica, and the rest of P7.
