Homestay Life


Moeki sitting on an ancient stone at Avebury


Fumiya and Andrew playing chess - what a competition! 


Last night Yotaro, Narutaka and Kate ate out.  They went to Pizza Express.  It was lovely. 
Yotaro had an American Classic Pizza and Nakutara had lasagne and garlic bread.  Yotaro tried Hot chocolate fudge cake with cream for pudding and Nakutara had honeycomb crunch with ice cream. 
It was a lovely evening. 


Ryo went to visit the crop circles in Wiltshire. Some people think they are made by aliens. Other people think they are just pranks!



Rio had a wonderful time with his homestay family






Delicious home-cooked food!

Homestay Families

The boys are being looked after very well by their homestay families. They have been taken out for traditional English meals in Marlborough.



Fumiya was taken for Fish and Chips in Marlborough!




Narutaka and Yotaro had a traditional, British 'Fish 'n Chip' supper by the river at Axford Weir. 
Poppy was given a little bit of fish too .. but was more interested in what was happening in the water! 
The boys enjoyed the food, 
The water is beautifully clean and clear and the pool beneath the weir is about 2m deep. 
Poppy loves it. 
When we got home the boys had pudding (jelly and ice-cream) and settled down to prepare for Japanese Corner tomorrow. 
They listened to pop  music on the computer whilst drawing and colouring for about 2 hours 


Tatsuya had a full English Breakfast to start the day!






Yipeee sunshine and day off Exploring Avebury




Then to Caen Hill Locks in Devizes - Tatsuya found this most interesting. The weather had been really kind to us for all the outdoor activities.




And at last Tatsuya can't wait to get his hands on the scones.






Shintaro visited some friends and their animals! 





He is getting on very well with his 'Homestay brothers' and enjoys playing games with them.


Activities!


The boys had a lot of fun playing Zord football and Target Shooting in the evening. This was their favourite activity so far and, as you can see, they all got stuck in...
