Prague day 4 ( the last day)

The 13th of May was the last day of the trip however we had the whole day left. We chose to spend it visiting the castle and Charles Bridge. We then had our final lunch out in a resturant and managed to fit in a bit of free time. We then had to be back at the hostel ready for 5.30 when the transfer was going to take us back to the airport. We all were on time and we got to the airport with no delays. We got back to Stansted airport at 22:00 were Stephs mum was there waiting to take us back to college.

Overall Prague was an amazing trip and i would love to go back again! :). Responsibilitys to your self need to be addressed for example your safety and security the hostel did have safety deposit boxes which i would advise useing however i brought my own padlock in for the boxes in our rooms. It is important when around the town and on the metro to keep an eye on your belongigns and move your bag to the front of your body. Its important to keep good time managment on the trip however i scored low in this area on the peer evaluation text however i was never late and had plenty of time left. Budgeting is important when away to make sure you have enough money for each day however i didnt have an issue with this as i took home around £30 when i went with £150. Its important to have responsibility and consideration to others withinig the group, the tutors, the other guest in the hostel, the fellow passengers, the taxi driver and speakers.  

Prague day 3


On the third day we had free time in the morning where most of us choose to have a lie in. As we were going to the Czech traditional festival at 1 in the afternoon. We travelled to this via the metro where we had to be aware of pickpockets. We spent the whole day here enjoying Prague food and drink listerning to traditional Czech music. That evening we once again went to the hostel bar to socialise together.

Prague day 2



On the second day we went downstairs and had breckfast. Steph Dc and Gemma guided us to the town ceter to find the walking tour man. Whos tour took us around the city showing us the key sights with interesting information. This tour lasted three hours. We then had a little free time to look around the shop then we had to find our way back to the hostel in time for the river cruise. The river cruise was very nice as we saw Prague from a diffrent prespective we also has a nice meal whilst socialising on the boat. After the boat docked we made our way back to the hostel where once again we socialised in the hostels bar.

Prague day one

On the 10th of May we all came to college and had our our first lesson like normal which we wernt to happy about. Stephs mum met us outside college at 1 ready to take us to Stansted airport. We arrive at the airport in time ready for our flight every was all on time with no delays. We then boarded the flight for the one hour and 30 minute flight. We arrived in Prague airport and the transfer people were ready waiting for us. They took us to our accomodation where me and kaleigh checked us in as we are the accomodation people. Everything went smoothly we got our door keys, they showed us where all the attraction were on the map, the told us all about the accomodation for example about breakfast,towels, the safe and the tram stops and prices. We then found our room and we were very happy with it. We unpacked then got ready to go and find somewhere to eat. we found this pizza place which served good food. unfortunatly some of us got over charged and we could get the money back. We then went back to the hostel and socialised in the bar down stairs. We then went to bed.

6th May car wash


On Friday the 6th of May we done a car wash to raise some more money for our trip to Prague. In total we raised £137.48 in total for the car wash. Which we were all very proud of. We have also decided to donate £41.90 to the NSPCC after we get back from Prague. We all contributed to the car was by bringing in sponges,buckets, shampoo and shimmeys. As the fundrasing team organised the car was they looked after the paper work in what cars we had to wash. We all went to them for information on what cars to wash and where to get the money from. There was one car that we just couldnt get cleaned so the whole cars helpped wash it :).

All the parents were able to ask questions and Justine brought in an example suitcase to give us an idea of what we can bring. We all had to sign a code of conduct which looks like this:

Monday the 4th April first aid course

We took this course to learn the basic first aid training. This is handy to know as when we are in Prague if any accidents occur we would be able to carry out the first aid procedures. We learnt how to put someone in the recovery position.We also had to put a bandage on each other and what to do if someone was choking. We then had a Q&A session and everyone was able to answer his questions so we learnt well.
