Ahhh,
Gay Paris (well, the outskirts of Gay Paris anyway), famed for the Eiffel
Tower, Culture, Romance, Haute Couture and… silly games and dance-offs? Welcome
to Paris - Latymer style!
Unperturbed
and not remotely jaded by a long day on a coach the pupils settled in quicker
than a French person dismisses my French accent, and threw themselves into some
team bonding, led by the exceptionally professional and engaging PGL staff.
Running races, acting like you’d lost £1m, dance-offs and bin-bag-couture all
came naturally to the West Londoners and it was fantastic to see the Year 9s
and 10s getting to know each other and chatting away happily.
The
only downside to the day so far? Our evening ends with the mood of the group in
the hands of the England football team… oh, dear!
