Statistics to update you

Well we are nearly back. This week we have walked over 60 miles! 

AND we did a collection of our loose euro change and will donate it to the Race for Life charity collection ... We have the equivalent of over £200 to add to the school total! FABULOUS! (A couple of members of the public donated in as well!). 

We've had a super week and can't wait for next year 😀😀😀

Checking in ...

... And it's a test for everyone's understanding of privacy ... We are in the queue with Coronation Street's Anna Windass.

Wakey wakey! Rise and shine!

Well, we are in the park, waiting for the shop to open in 15 mins so that we can have breakfast. Then it's back to the hotel to pick up bags and check out before we check in at 10am. We will let you know how time goes ✈️

What a day!

We finished with the Marineland park today and saw loads (we mentioned a bit earlier). 
And we couldn't miss the opportunity for a group photograph :
We've had pizza and a picnic in the park and, when we returned to our hotel, we discovered that we are sharing the hotel with the national ladies' basketball teams from Slovenia, Croatia, Russia, Belgium and the Czech Republic. We were offered free tickets to the tournament tomorrow - it's gutting that we had to turn them down! There are several students ha being photos with them! 

Sharks, Dolphins, penguins, turtles, polar bears, killer whales and sea lions ...

After this morning and afternoon's fun in the water park. We've now hit the aquarium / sea world centre. We plan on seeing some fabulous dolphin antics very soon. Several of us are questioning the morality of this sort of attraction, but nonetheless we are enjoying seeing them. 


Waterpark

All seem to be having lots of fun on the rides here at Aquasplash! They are smiling and constantly returning for water and sunscreen - which can only be a good thing!

What a day!!

We We've done so much since we last updated you ... Following our race for life! We are really proud of everyone at school in the heatwave too! Well done!!

Since we wrote this morning, we have been on an open-top bus tour ... Wow! Some people had leaves in their hair after that! We saw old Nice and modern Nice. We stopped off at the monastery in Cimiez and visited the Matisse museum. 

After some ice cream, we re-joined the bus tour and returned to the town. We had a delicious meal in a restaurant and then explored a few little bits in small groups. 

We spent the latter part of the day on the beach and some of us were able to enjoy a Segway experience! Lots of fun!

This evening allowed for time to chill in the beach before heading back 

Guess how many miles we've walked today?!

5km Race for Life

Please please do donate to the school's justgiving page to pledge your support for Cancer Research UK - so many of us are or have been affected by cancer in one way or another. 

The Nice team has walked 5km this morning and we have completed our Race for Life. 

We have walked through beautiful conditions (if a little hot!) 
In the photo above you can see our full walk - we walked "just around the corner" - a 5km corner! 

Well done everyone. 

And, don't forget, if you're reading this, you can donate to our school justgiving page - https://www.justgiving.com/ThekingsCEschool/

THANK YOU!
