We had lunch which was southern fried chicken and salad, followed by Belgian waffles with ice cream and chocolate sauce. It was then sadly time to empty our rooms and say our goodbyes. We all got onto the coach for our journey home. Luckily this time it only took 4 hours. Thank you to Mrs Flynn, Mrs Fishlock, Mrs Thompson and Mr Stone for coming along with us.

grounds or the Great Hall, the workshops continued. Students worked through the activities producing some fantastic work. The tutors were all very complementary of the students. Dinner was jacket potato with a choice of beans, cheese or tuna with salad and chocolate muffin for dessert. Evening entertainment was some time outside with friends, playing sport, a movie in the 3D cinema room or just hanging out with friends in the Great Hall. Sunday morning was upon us before we knew it. It was time to pack up our bags and strip off our beds before heading to breakfast. There was time for a workshop to develop and refine any work. Art and textiles students took their work to display in the newly refurbished Orangery. The work looked amazing. Photographers prepared a slide show of their favourite images. There was a short break until we all went to look at the exhibition displayed. Students were given the opportunity to explain their work and have a look around. We then went to the cinema room to watch the slide show of the photographers work. I must say, it was all fantastic.

Some quotes from students:

‘I really enjoyed taking photos of the flowers because we don’t have as much in Southampton, so it’s been a great experience. Over the weekend I have taken lots of cool photos and my favourite one is the photo with the four girls sat on the hill in front of the hall’. ‘I really enjoyed my few days going out and taking photos and trying to experiment with depth of field and all. This helped me with my photography skills and I have learnt loads of new things’.

‘This has been a once in a life time opportunity’.
