Cliff Path Walk
Sofi's story from our cliff path walk:
One of the last days we were having a cliff path walk. It was erally beautyful as you can see on the photos, and the weather was good.. We wandered along the north coast, which is different from the south coast, because on the south coast there are long beaches and on the north coast it's much rockier.

Thank you all students for a wonderful trip. When the autumn comes and Emma's back from Oxford you will get a farewell email with some photos from our cameras. If you in a photo you'll get it. Have a great summer and good luck with school when it's time. / Emma and Hanna
Jersey Zoo and Jersey Pottery
Playing close to Gorey Pier
From one of our students:
One day we went to the zoo. We took the bus early and were at the zoo for about two hours I think. It was wonderful weather, sunny and blue sky. Everyone was very interested in the gorillas. We could also see flamingos, aye-ayes and reptiles. After the zoo we went to Jersey Pottery. We had some free-time so we went to a beach that was close to the pottery. We were only 6 persons at the beach I think. Some of us went to the water and played with a ball, the rest of us were just relaxing in the sun. Then we went back to the pottery.
We took the bus back to Liberations Station. In the night we went to the cinema - almost everyone were watching "Bad Teacher". I thought the movie was OK. Not the best movie but still OK.
Some students took the chance to paint their own pottery items.

A new leader
Our new activity leader Hanna has replaced Katrin, who got ill at Jersey. This is her introduction:
I'm a 23-year-old girl who lives in Scotland, but originally I come from Linkoping. I like challenges, music and hanging out with friends and family over a cup of coffee. I've worked with youth groups before and I really enjoy it. To experience Jersey together with our students has so far been exciting and brought many laughs.

Surfing
We have tried surfing for four days. It was hard but it was a fun experience. At the first lesson did we learn to stand right on the board and paddle Cole, Nina and Ben, our leaders, helped us when we couldn't stand up right. We became very tired after three hours surfing. The waves were very high the first day.

During the first four we left school at 11 to take the bus to the Beach. There we got our wetsuits, which were very hard to put on. After that we were handed the boards and headed for the beach. We hadn't expected that we were allowed to surf the first day. Everyone had different expectations. Some found it easy and some found it hard, but the majority of the surfers actually managed to stand up on the boards the first day.

The first thing we saw was these absolutely divine abs placed on our instructor Ben, (also called Ben-Ten after an action hero as good-looking as him). The second thing we saw was this huge... banana belonging to to our other instructor. After these experiences, we all took a deep breath and began preparing to catch some waves! Starting off with squeezing ourselves into these really right wetsuits and after that we warmed up - we, especially Gustav, were all psyched! And then went out into the ocean.
We gonna tell you about the last surfing day. The weather was good but the waves were really bad, so we couldn't surf at all. Instead we paddled out to a little tower. There we swimmed in a little pool, that had appeared out of the tides. We wanted to surf, but we had a fun time anyway. At the end of the day we took a picture together with our surf teachers. We want to thank our teachers for four lovely days.
