Day 3 - School day + Canterbury

Day 3

17/7/2025

St. Lawrence College → Canterbury

















We don’t want to leave the UK after the program because the weather is so cool and we enjoy it so much. 

We had lessons in the morning from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. today. We felt very tired when the teachers turned off the lights sometimes during the lesson. Our teacher, Mr. David, taught us about camera shots, angles, and movements in filmmaking. We went outside to try the angles because they will be useful in our video project. When we tried the extreme close-up, we laughed a lot because my partner's face was so funny.

After the lesson, we had lunch. We had sandwiches again, while our friends ate burgers. They called the burgers “dry dry bread” because they were so dry, which was really funny! After lunch, we went to Canterbury. The view was beautiful and we really liked it. We took so many photos during the trip! We went shopping, and we were all so excited because we spent money buying lovely things. We also bought some souvenirs for our friends.

After shopping, we watched a musical called The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The musical was totally awesome! After that, our host family came to the theatre to drive us home, which was really kind of them. One of the host families was busy, so our host family took the girls back home as well. But they forgot their home address. They were just so cute! When we got back home, it was already 10 p.m. We had a long day today, so we will surely go to sleep quickly tonight!

Day 2 16/7/2025 St. Lawrence College  →  Deal Castle Today started with the cries of seagulls. We got up early to attend classes on time at 8:30 a.m. Ms. Eileen prepared a hearty breakfast for us, offering many kinds of oatmeal, as well as chocolate bread and pancakes. After breakfast, Ms. Eileen drove us to St. Lawrence College for our classes. Our teacher, Mr. David, is friendly and funny, and his class was both easy and interesting.         At the most anticipated lunchtime, we enjoyed our packed lunch prepared by Ms. Eileen. There were many different types of food in the lunch bag, and the bread was wrapped in tin foil, which was very considerate. After lunch, school was over, and we were ready for our afternoon activities.                      Then, we walked to Ramsgate train station. We took the train to Deal Castle and then walked for 10 minutes to reach the castle. We stood in front of it and t...

Day 15 - Award Ceremony & Cricket

Day 15 29/7/2025 St. Lawrence College  → Broadstairs Cricket Club It’s the second-to-last day in the UK! We’re both excited and sad. We’ll miss the UK very much!   In class, we did a speaking activity where we described our whole UK trip in one word. Then, we made a thank-you card for Ms. Brown. It was very emotional! We even cried a little.             Afterward, we happily walked to the Broadstairs Cricket Club to try playing cricket. The teachers taught us how to throw the ball and how to hit it with a bat. It was thrilling to listen to their instructions! Before the lesson ended, we played a really fun game. Everyone was laughing as they left!     Following the amazing cricket activity, Ms. Brown picked us up early, and we went home to pack our things. Later, we went to a park to take some photos together. These are such great memories! We’ll miss the UK very much, and we hope we can come back again someday! By Pansy, Hazel...

Day 1 15/7/2025 Hong Kong  →  London Heathrow Airport  →  Ramsgate   We are so excited about today! Thank you so much, Mr. McDonald, for coming to see us at the airport. We arrived in the UK at 3:30 PM, and we were all very tired because of the long flight. We had a lot of plane food during the long journey. We met Mr. David, Ashley, and their two sons on the coach. They are very friendly and nice.                   Later, we met our host family in Ramsgate. Our host mum, Ms. Eileen, has many cute pieces of furniture and a charming fridge! She is a very good listener and always addresses our questions and provides advice. We are very excited about the upcoming days. It has been a tiring day. Since we need to get up early for classes, we'll all go to sleep at 11:00 PM after getting some snacks. This is the end of our day.   By Neva, Elsa, Jessie
