London!

Proud Panther and I had the adventure of a lifetime in London! We marched with the guards at Buckingham Palace, we took a tour in a double-decker bus, did some shopping at Harrod's (a very expensive store that famous people enjoy shopping at), and walked through Westminster Abbey (the same church that Prince Charles and Princess Diana got married in). We also saw the London Tower, London Bridge, London Eye, St. Paul's Cathedral, and Big Ben. We squeezed a lot into one weekend, but we had a blast! Take a look at our photos to see some of Proud Panther's new friends!

Another Adventure!

Proud Panther and I will be on our way to London tomorrow. Another exciting adventure for us. We will take lots of pictures so that we can share the experience with you! So far, it looks like it is going to be a very cold weekend for us!

Wales

Proud Panther and I decided to take a trip to Wales this weekend. First, we rode on the train for about three hours. We saw lots of sheep and countryside! Once we arrived in Cardiff, we went to see the Cardiff Castle. Each room in the castle was decorated with a different theme (no pictures allowed-sorry!) and time period. There were even blankets on the beds that were made of gold thread! I think proud panther liked the tower the best! It was a very cold and wet day, but Proud Panther didn't seem to mind. The streets were very crowded, because there were two big rugby games. People here love rugby, like we love football. After the castle, we did some shopping! We also took a tour bus through the city so that we could learn some of the history. It was a double decker bus, but we were too cold to sit upstairs! We had a wonderful trip to Wales and learned a lot about Cardiff! We are having a great time exploring and we love sharing our adventures with you!

Lovely Plymouth!

Proud Panther and I would like to share some of the sights we have seen with all of you. England is very beautiful. It rains a lot, so the plants are very green and healthy! Although it is usually cold, the sun has been out a lot these last couple of days (I guess to make us feel more at home)! It is a very old city with buildings that are over 1,400 years old! There is also a very old Naval Base here with lots of ships. I hope you enjoy the pictures and we will continue to share our journey with you as we go!

First Day At Goosewell Primary

Today was our first day at Goosewell Primary School. Proud Panther and I are in a Key Stage 1 Year 2 classroom, which is six year olds. Everyone was so nice to us. The students wanted to know what it was like in Florida and they thought that I talked funny! I was trying to explain to them how hot it gets in Florida, because it is very cold in England! They loved the "This Land Is Your Land" book that we created and also enjoyed Proud Panther being in the classroom. All of the students in my school wear uniforms and get a whole hour for lunch, can you believe it! Proud Panther and I miss you, but we are slowly learning all the answers to your questions!

*New Word: The dot at the end of a sentence isn't called a "period" in England, it's called a "full stop." This is our classroom (they are studying Germany and Mexico).

We're Here!!

Well, we have arrived in England! It is very cold and windy, but very beautiful! I will post some pictures for you as soon as I can. Tomorrow is my first day at Goosewell Primary, so wish me luck! My class is Stage 2 (6 and 7 year olds). I can't wait to tell you all about it. I miss you all and I hope you are warmer than me and Proud Panther!

It's Time To Go!

We are all packed and ready to leave tomorrow. Be sure to stop by the blog to see what we've been up to! We will miss you all!
