What we did during the holidays

We were happy to go back to school on 2nd September. 

Alexia  -   I've been traveling a lot this summer, more than the past few years. It was amazing because I could go everywhere in Paris or London on my own without struggle.

I attended my cousin's graduation in England and went night ice-skating to congratulate her. She kept falling so I had to hold her hand to help her.

Rome is not as I expected; it looks dirty in some areas and there are too many graffiti, except where the magnificent monuments are. I was surprised by the amount of embassies there. I thought I had seen the embassy of Ethiopia but it was actually the house of the ambassador of Ethiopia.

I've been invited by the ambassador of Ivory Coast to celebrate Independence Day. It was an amazing experience.

Anne-Laure  -  During my holiday, I went to Trois-Ilets for three weeks with my family and three friends. We went to the Bambou Hotel. I went to the 'Tour des Yoles' (sailing around Martinique) with my friends on a catamaran for the whole week tour. It was very interesting; I've loved the convivial atmosphere a lot.
I went to the zoo in Carbet, I've seen a lot of animals such as lions and spiders. I've made shots with them. I've seen a very big snake, I was afraid but when I touched him, I loved it, it was soft.
On 19th August, it was Laurane's birthday : we went to Cap Chevalier island in St-Anne for the day. There were twenty of us. We had a big party on the beach with music and grilled meat.


Anika - For my holidays, I travelled to St-Lucia at my family's house. I was very happy. My sister and I went by the beach, we went shopping. For the vacation, I started to do some exercise.
Every Saturday night, my cousins and I went to Domino's Pizza or KFC. I saw the carnival by my home, it was amazing.
My mom, my sister and some other people we went to climb the 'Piton' (a peak) that was so hard. I think this was the worst day of my life.
My sister and I went to a summer pageant, all the girls were beautiful but the one that won was the nicest.

Jason -  On Friday the 15th of July I traveled to my homeland St-Lucia and spent two nights with my family. On Sunday morning, bright and early, I took a plane to the island of Barbados.
When I arrived there, my aunt and her husband were already at the airport. They took me to their house where I settled for the whole month. While in Barbados I visited Bridgetown which is the capital town and multiple seventh day adventist churches as well. I got the chance to sing at a church in St-Michael called Grazette. I made plenty of friends and I ate a lot of fast food in a restaurant named Cheffette where I frequently visited.
I visited a number of malls and boutiques and I also took many pictures. My aunt Dora is a lawyer so I got the chance to meet many other attorneys and magistrates.
I did a lot of outings like going to the beach, karaoke, picnic and shopping. 
While attending the breath of life S. D. A. Church, I became a vacation bible school teacher, where I taught crafts, songs and sign language to children.
When I left Barbados I went back to St-Lucia where I spent two weeks.
