On Saturday 30th June three teams from The Chalfont Community College travelled to southern Poland to embark on their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award expedition in The Tatra Mountain range which forms a natural border between Slovakia & Poland. We were based in Zakopane and then travelled over the border to begin the hike on Monday 2nd July.
On Friday 6th July, 49 students from Year 10 waited patiently at Heathrow Terminal 5 to get on a plane to travel, for what was to be both an emotional and educational journey as well as one full of fun, laughter and comradery. For some of our students, to be on a plane was very exciting as they had never been abroad. As a surprise Ms Tahmazian arranged for those students to visit the cockpit and meet the pilot which made the trip extra special.
On the day we went to France we were all really excited as we jumped on the coach and then onto the ferry. When we got onto the ferry we had a look at where everything was and our meeting points and then got to explore. In France, the first place we went to was the market where there were loads of shops and stalls. By then we were all hungry and went to the beach to have lunch where we took loads of pictures and drew in the sand. After that we got on the coach and went to the bakery to see how traditional bread is made and we were given croissants at the end. Then we went to a massive shopping centre and bought our dinner. Finally we got back on the ferry and the coach and got home at around 11:00pm. I even won a baguette during Mr Quéré’s quiz on the way back. I enjoyed France.
