LAST DAY OF TERM ONE!!
I hope you all enjoy your holidays and really look after your chrome books - you need them next term! Remember to read the class blog and make comments. I might have time to add some things over the holidays. More importantly though get outside and have some fun in the fresh air.
I am in Ireland now and about to start driving all around it. We came across the Irish Sea by ferry from Wales. When in Wales we visited Cardiff Castle. It is an amazing castle. I have so many photos of castles!! During WWII the people of the city would sheltered from the bombs inside the castle walls as they are like long tunnels. The wall goes all the way around and there is a small keep inside and a huge palace as well. Daffodils grow everywhere in Wales and are very beautiful. Whole banks of them lined the rises to the walls inside the castle.

    

Really looking forward to seeing you all next term. I will do a big slide show about castles for the first week back. If you want something or investigate over the holidays maybe look up either Carcassonne, St Michel, Cardiff, Caen, Dublin or Carnavon.
They do jousting matches at the Cardiff castle!! Imagine dressing up like a knight and riding a horse around a castle playing with swords!!! Fun fun fun. Make sure you have some over the holidays and I'll see you on the first day back!
Warm wishes
Ms Sands

Hi Room 9
Now I am in England I can use the class blog again.. Not sure why I couldn't in France?? Probably just some setting Mr Riceman or James would have known about but no worries I was too busy visiting places and riding the trains. There are soooooo many trains in France. Huge stations and multiple lines everywhere. When they talk to the public over the loud speakers they always play a set piece of music. Always the same everywhere in the country. I can still hear it in my head!!
I have made several slideshows and put them on the Reading page of our class site. There are so many memorials and cemeteries here as so many men died in the two wars. We found the grave site of my great uncle finally after a long day of train, bus and taxi rides. He rests in a very small cemetery in a very small village that not many of the French people even knew about.     

Remember to email me.

Hello Room 9
No one has had a go at answering the Integriy questions. Why is that?
I want to see if this is working from France as having problems especially with photos.
