Chester, by Maya ALIAHMAD
The first day we arrived, during the morning we had the chance to discover Chester thanks to a rather amusing treasure hunt! Among the places we visited, were the EastGate clock, which is the second most photographed clock in the United Kingdom after famous Big Ben. The EastGate clock was built by Edward Evans-Llyod, citizen and freeman in 1897. It is located on a bridge in the city center of Chester. We were on the way to the Chester cathedral when we crossed the bridge, we had a proper view of the main street where there were rather special and unique architectural designs!
I thought it was remarkably beautiful.
Chester, by Néo MARIE
This street is called Main Street / Shopping Street and it's the place where everyone in Chester walk, visit, and do shopping. In this street we did a treasure hunt, which was very interesting and funny. That was during the first day. We just arrived so we were tired. This day was very long. In the morning, we stopped the coach to have breakfast. After that, we started the treasure hunt, which was composed of 4 groups, team Chester, led by Mr. Charpentier. Team Manchester, led by Mr. Joyeux. Team Liverpool, led by Mrs Bernier and lastly, team Anfield led by Mr. Reinbold.
Chester, by Naomi DONNE
On the first day, we visited Chester through some little activities. After lunch, we went to visit the cathedral of Chester. On that picture, you can see it from the outside. This monument is part of the History of Chester and it's considered as one of the most beautiful cathedral of Great Britain. It was built as a benedictine monastery and has been greatly transformed in the 16th century and became the actual cathedral.
Chester, by Vanessa JOUANNY
We spent our Thursday morning in Manchester. We went to the Museum of Science and Industry, where we had the opportunity to discover how clothes were made with the first machines. The book at the top right contains samples of fabric. It comes from the era of the industrial revolution, and from one of the first cloth factories. The machine in the bottom right corner is called the water frame. It is a water-powered spinning machine that allows to turn cotton into yarn. The old red wheel at the bottom left is made of iron and metals with bolts surrounded by stone bricks. It was used with water to make the machines work during the industrial revolution. This allows us to see how machines operated at the time.
Manchester, by Laure MARILIER
This is a big street art of an old building which represents the industrial revolution with different characters and situations. There are carts pulled by horses, trains with smoke, bridges and workers. In front of this street art, there are barrels and an old railway. This experience in the Museum of Science and Industry was enjoyable and enriching. We discovered many things about how industry evolved and how society once was. This is useful for our personal knowledge.
Manchester, by Tessa MOUTOU
On that picture, we can see students who were doing an attraction with their bodies. After visiting the museum of Science & Industry in Manchester we went back in Chester in the afternoon. Then we went to the University of Chester and we did a drama workshop. During this activity we had many things to do with our body like attractions in theme parks, it was like the Roller Coaster. During this activity, everything was directed by Rob, who was the organizer. We were doing things with our bodies like letters, words, objects (attractions, castle), scenes and painting board which were moving like in Harry Potter.
Anfield Stadium Tour, by Perla SHUNGU
This is the stadium of Anfield and as you can see it's such a beautiful place!
On Thursday, 10th at the beginning of this cold morning we arrived in Liverpool .We saw this WONDERFUL view from the grandstand and then we started to be very interested in all of this.
We could see the stadium from the top and it's very green, red and clean. From the top we could see the initials of the place : L.F.C. The stadium is AMAZING! We had an enjoyable time at Anfield.
Anfield Stadium, Hillsborough Memorial, by Kamélia SOUCHI
It's a picture of the Hillsborough memorial which stands in front of the Anfield stadium. We saw it on friday just before visiting the famous sport monument. This memorial was built in honour of the victims of the accident of 1985, when a grandstand broke down. We can see flowers and portraits on it, forming acronyms like «DYNWA» which means «Dad, You'll Never Walk Alone» in reference to the official song of the club which is a symbol of hope and solidarity. This moment was moving and it showed to the group that the liverpool football team had a whole history known and respected by all the locals even if they are not into football culture. This event is significant for people in liverpool to the point that football is now central to their culture.
Cricket at Chester, by Sabrine REHIBI TCHERMNYKH
In the afternoon of the third day, in this photo we can see two classmates playing cricket. In the background there are little houses. There's a very big field to play this sport. They hold an orange cricket bat and they wrapped their yellow T-shirt, one on the arm and the other on the leg. Personally I've enjoyed learning how to play this sport, even if in the end of the day we were all tired.
Liverpool, British Music Experience, by Catarina JESUS MATEUS
The last day we went to Liverpool to visit the British Music Experience Museum. We visited it in the morning. In this museum we could see the evolution of British music over time, with a nice exhibition of albums and beautiful instruments like guitars signed by artists who performed at particular live shows. We watched hologram concerts and it was just incredible. The best part of the museum was the one where we could play some instruments like the piano or the guitar. At some point, some students and teachers played together and this moment was a pleasant memory for each of us.
Liverpool, Albert Docks, by Arthur DAVAZE
This is a statue of all the Beatles together in the street near the British music experience museum. We can recognize from left to right George Harrison, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and Paul Mccartney.
There were a lot of tourists around the statue and each figure was taller than the person it represented. We took the picture during the tour, when the guide showed us a part of Alberts Docks.
Liverpool, Beatles Story Museum, by Coralie LABRANA
The picture was taken in The Beatles Story Museum in Liverpool. It's a representation of the music video of Imagine by John Lennon. In the middle, there is a guitar next to a giant white piano. On the piano, there are sunglasses and a picture of John Lennon. The walls are all white and they are decorated with pretty frames of him and some writings.
