Bonjour from France
Today we went to war memorials. First we had breakfast – we had croissants, baguettes and cereal. Then we went to Ulster Tower, we looked at the graves and then we saw the forests and saw all of the trenches. They were dug out and metal was used to keep the rocks and stones from caving in. The trenches were not straight they were zigzag, small and tight so that bombs can’t fall in and kill soldiers. There were craters that were not levelled out since ww2. We found out that in the water bottles French soldiers had red wine and water and British had water. Then we went to Thiepval and had lunch. The memorial was so big and had so many names. We laid a wreath at Lochnagar crater. After that we went to another memorial -etaples. There were so many graves, the biggest cemetery we saw.
Dinner was spaghetti and ice lollies for pudding. Yum! We then went to the beach. It was a very long walk! We had great fun and got very sandy.
Tomorrow we are at the theme park. We are so excited!

Fantastic pics it all looks so interesting it’s a shame I could not have been a parent helper for this trip hahaha 😂 Hope you all have an awesome time at the theme park we can’t wait to hear all about it xx
Looks like a lot of fun and all the kids are enjoying it……so glad that Chanel and her school are paying tribute to a very important and sad part of history. It’s important our children know and understand what so many faced and what our men and woman faced so generations to come could live in peace.
Enjoy the theme park kids
It all looks really interesting. Those bagettes looked yummy. Hope you are all having a great time.
