21.30: Tonight after dinner, we walked along the beach and had our second night's activity to design and build a sand sculpture. The children thoroughly enjoyed their time on the beach and are now settling to bed before we embark on another busy day with an early start!

16.50: Despite the rain in Honfleur, we still managed to have a lovely afternoon with a visit to St Catherine's church - the largest timbered church in France built in 1450. Taking shelter in the market square children sketched the wonderful old buildings whilst groups ventured to buy their ice creams using their French to select their favourite flavours. I am pleased to say that our spirits are not dampened by the weather and we hope that the sun might emerge later for our evening activities.

11.20: A blustery Arromanches greeted us on our arrival at the 360 cinema this morning. We gathered the children on the cliff top where we had an excellent view of the Mulberry Harbour and they learned more about its purpose following D-Day and how it came to be there. Inside the cinema, we watched a short film which through original footage and photos we learned about the build up to D-Dayr and the events that followed.

We are now back on the coach for one of our longer journeys to the harbou town of Honfleur. We hope the rain holds off so that we can do some sketching and watercolour painting this afternoon!

8.10: All slept really well last night and have had a good breakfast. We are in Arromanches this morning for the 360 cinema and then a walk to St Peter's church. This afternoon we travel to Honfleur. The children are being fantastic and we are really proud of them!
