Excursions

With all our hundreds of exams to mug for, this term was much quieter than the
last, often with subdued students sacrificing their Saturdays and Sundays by
spending their time revising for the next “big thing” (Those wretched
papers!). . However, theory tests and graded experiments were not all the
highlights of this summer term.
The introduction of karaoke nights helped liven things up in the school, and
there were other activities too. Students have got involved with the upcoming
Tenbury Carnival to flaunt their national costumes. To top it off, we had a
couple of reward excursions, two, to be precise, for well behaved students to
look forward too.
Listen to how 2 excellent students chilled out at London and Birmingham! |

London
This was my first time visiting London, and, in my opinion, it truly is an
amazing city! First of all, I went to the bus stop to buy myself a ticket.
During that trip, I stopped firstly at Fulham Road, then Oxford Street. Fulham
Road happens to be where the Chelsea FC Stadium is located. As I set foot into
the stadium, I realized a match was on. I wanted to get in badly, but so much
for my dreams, the tickets had all been sold out! So I had to remain outside,
but all was not lost since I did some sightseeing. It wasn’t so bad after
all. At Oxford Street, I did some shopping! Browsing through the many shops and
restaurants, I found myself some lunch, and got hold of some souvenirs for my
family. It was such a lovely place for shopping! Lastly, I visited Victoria
Station, where coaches ar- -rive and depart. I also saw many old, nice,
historical buildings, of which I took numerous photographs. That done, I went
back. Another 4 hour long journey to tolerate, but at least my family members
would be happy. WILSON LEE, 16 , (Hong Kong) GCSE Course
Birmingham
I thought it a good idea to go shopping in Birmingham for the weekend. I had
a chance to as a reward excursion was organized by school . This attracted many
to Birmingham. It took about 1 hour and half to go there by bus . The bus
dropped us off at the shopping centre and we had barely a few hours for
shopping , that’s why we couldn’t go elsewhere . We didn’t want
to be left behind! Time passes really fast when we go shopping ! Especially
when there are big sales everywhere! When the afternoon came, we realized that
we had only gone to 6 shops ! Where did time go today? We spent the remaining 1
hour to go to China town to buy food (especially noodles). No prizes for
guessing how many carrier bags we returned with after the trip! (Hey
man...SALES were on!) MANDY NGUYEN ,15, (Vietnam) GCSE Course
