Friday Morning 9:00

Hi everyone,

After the energy spent dancing last night everyone had a really good sleep. The children seem to be well rested and happy. We have just finished breakfast and they are now packing their bags so that they can be loaded onto the coach whilst we do the Andy Goldsworthy art activity.

Some of the children have complained that the trip is not long enough and that they want to stay on here a few more days!! That is a good sign and means that they must have enjoyed themselves. They have been extremely well behaved throughout the trip and yesterday at the musuem they were particularly impressive. They were very interested in everything they saw and in our assembly last night, some of them said that the Palace was the highlight of the trip. (That was before the disco, of course).

We aim to be back in Rio by 4 o'clock. I will phone the school when we leave the Crystal Palace so that an estimated time of arrival can be established.

Well we are about to start the Andy Goldsworthy activity. If there is time I will do a last posting afterwards, if not, see you this afternoon at the school.
