We traveled with the 6th grade on one day and then the 7th grade on the next day to see one of the Channel Islands and then a Monastery; let the adventure begin.
On Tuesday May 10, 2016 we started the day early as we took the ferry from Saint Malo to the channel island of Guernsey. In our experiences a field trip usually consisted of getting on a school bus and having a very long ride. In Saint Malo they think nothing of using ferries. Just seeing the ferry and getting on it was an adventure for us. The Ferry's were huge and the student's take all of this is stride and were really well behaved.
On our way to Guernsey we had French lessons using pictures the students had drawn. We had fun and they realized we had just as hard of time with French as they have with English. We learned several new words and many of the students wanted their picture taken with us.
Our goal this day is to visit the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and then do a little shopping in the city. On our way to our first stop the rain started and the weather in France is like in the United States. That day we checked the weather and had zero chance of rain. Well they have enough rain that they do not cancel events and we continued on. The weather even let up enough to have our picnic lunch in the commons area. The Zoo was very nice and well maintained.
