Today I spent most of the day at the school for English GCSE revision. I caught the bus to Didcot, then looked around the shops for a little bit. I walked up to the school at around 9:30am and got there about 5 mins later.

As I walked in to the gate, nearby kids on the paths gave me a strange look. I walked up to to the room finding it was locked so I wondered around the school. First thing I found out that they were taking the stage apart in the hall, and possibly about to start to start sanding the wooden floor. Exciting..

It wasn’t long until the teachers arrived and the rest of the people attending this thing. I had 15 mins breaks and a one hour lunch break. On one of the breaks I wondered with Jack and Matty to see what happening around the school. We discovered first that they are ripping some of the tarmac up outside the tatty huts (possbily ripping the whole playground up).

On the lunch break, it would seem that we would be heading to the chip shop. It seemed like a good idea for me to run around the corder but it ended out with some of my flesh being ripped off on my arm. The day passed quite fast after that, and I now staring at the Cineworld voucher in front of me.

Tomorrow I shall be heading in the Banbury direction to go shoe shopping.. how exciting!

Knackered by Lulworth Cove

I had a surprisingly great day out yesterday climbing up hills around Lulworth Cove, with sunny weather and good views for photos. :smile: Though I was quite annoyed by the amount of photos I managed to take as I was just focusing and wasn’t taking much..

I arrived at the school just before 8am deadline as I didn’t want hang around in the hall for along time. The coach was there already and everyone bundled into a smelly orange version of one. On the way, I had to keep myself from laughing out loud at the driver managing to get stuck every five ticks.

We arrived at the Cove at 11ish, and went straight into a cramped classroom (with small chairs like I was in primary school) to stare at a presentation on how amazing rocks are and information about them, which I knew already. The group then spilt to two groups, I was in Mr Ford group (as i’m in his class :roll: )..

After looking at different types of rock, the group did a random sketch of a cove on the bottom of the hill. We wondered about and did even more sketching of things nearby. Thankfully after that, it was lunchtime!

I joined the dash to the chip shop and after queuing I ordered large chips, and I ate them. Amazing.. It wasn’t long until it was 1 o’clock and we had to meet up again at a spot but it took along time to do it though.

We now had to climb this really steep hill (with out anything to hold on to) and I applied a rule while walking up it. Don’t stop unless the leader does.. I was pretty impress by being in front most of the time. I got on top and was really tried. Took a break and looked at the great views high above.

We then went down the hill at the other side but it was giving me belly ache as it really shook you up and down. The rest of trip involves looking at other processes of coves and climbing up the hill again and going down it going to the starting point.

The trip back was aright but was quite boring. I got back at five o’clock and went home.

There is more photos of the trip in my photo album on Bebo and soon on Facebook.
