On Friday 11th December 39 Year 10 students visited the Christmas Market in Lille, France. Despite a long journey the students were exceptionally well behaved and the staff and students had a fantastic time. The students completed a “selfie trail” where they had to take photos with different things that had been described to them in French. They then had some free time to explore the market with a quick crepe and a go on the ferris wheel thrown in too. Overall, a fantastic day in France.
