year 8 in paris

On Monday, a cohort of our Year 8 students and staff set off from Urmston to cross the Channel for a 5 day trip to the historically rich French capital, where they have been enjoying many opportunities to develop and flex their French-speaking skills and comprehension.

After a lovely journey over, Tuesday saw them enjoy a full day's programme of events. This included a trip to the fabulous Musée d'Orsay:

And an amazing guided tour of the Stade de France.

There was also time for a river cruise on the Seine, taking in all the iconic sights of the city.

On Wednesday, they enjoyed a visit to the Museum of Science and Industry:

Followed by an afternoon of shopping and a fun evening, despite some dramatic thunderstorms!

Yesterday, they enjoyed a fabulous trip to Parc Asterix (lead picture & below):

With lots of rides and treats to enjoy:

And Mr Pratska and Mr Cummins even got to meet a VIP!

For more photos, see our socials, and we wish you all a safe journey back. With huge thanks to all the staff supporting the trip and to Mr Cummins for the photography!
