One more sleep!

One more sleep, posted by Mrs. Thompson.

Having tried several times to post a message on here, I am hoping that this attempt may finally be successful!!! After endless discussions, our trip to China is very nearly here! My packing has begun and the washing machine has been on permanently at home! The weather in Chengdu is currently very similar to our country, perhaps a little milder so that should make packing easier! Mr Golightly has the fun job of teaching with me whilst we're in Chengdu and we've prepared some fantastic lessons based on the artwork children have given us from our school. Miss Harrington and Miss Butler will be teaching the younger children out there some of our well-known nursery rhymes. As many of the staff will tell you, I think I will be known as the worrier of the group! Once I'm on the plane, knowing that I have remembered everything, I'll breathe a huge sigh of relief and know that I will have the most amazing and memorable week! We will be keeping in regular contact with everyone back home via the blog so make sure you keep in touch and send us plenty of messages!
Enjoy your half term!

    Just woken up and are thinking you must be there by now. Hope you're all raring to go.
    Got the atlas out and are amazed at the distances involved. Living in the UK it's hard to think on such big scales.
    Looking forward to the food critic reports, I quite fancy duck feet, although not for brekkie!!!
    Have fun! Gill and Keith Harris

    You should all Have arrived by now and hopefully are enjoying your first day in Chung Du.
    We've looked on the map and find the scale of things hard to get our heads around, didn't realise Beijing was in the north either!
    Hope you're having a good time and looking forward to reading the food blog, I quite fancy duck feet being a big fan of chicken wings.
    Take care Gill & Keith x
