On Friday
the 8th all of the 3s' went to Moonfleet for the weekend . We stayed in
a very cool youth hostel in Swanage . All of the children shared rooms
in 2s, 4s and 6s. The staff had their own room . When we arrived there
we unpacked got our beds ready and then went down for supper . We had
already ordered what we were going to eat. Some people ordered pizzas,
some people ordered fish and chips and some people ordered burgers, it
was a great super. We got in to are pits and settled down to a film
(Blades of Glory] . FUNNY FILM . We jumped into bed and all fell to
sleep quickly after a very tiring journey to get to the hostel . We woke
up, had a filling breakfast and then got shown around Dorset by Mr
Morgan,s parents .We went to find a character from Moonfleet, the book
we were reading . We went to Chesil beach, a high up view point, a light
house, Wyke Regis church and lastly Saint Catherine's church on the top
of a hill . When we got back we had our ordered supper and then finished
of Blades of Glory. We all woke up very exited because we were
going to SPLASHDOWN . The rides at Splashdown were great and
altogether the trip was fantastic .Thank you to Mr Stanton Mr Schreiber
,Mr Potter and Sister Corbin. |

On the
second day we were at Moonfleet we went to a very interesting Church
called Wyke Regis .We went round the back of the Church to see the tomb
that inspired John Meade Faulkner to write Moonfleet .On the tomb stone
there was a carved picture of two boats on a lake or a sea and inscribed
“Mister William Lewis died by a gun shot .” In the book John dies by
being shot at the by Magistrate Maskew. Thank you Mr Stanton ,Mr
Gilsenan and Mr Schreiber for taking us to the best trip so far in the
3`s . |
