Wow, another busy day! This morning we all walked into the city centre and then separated into our groups. We spent the first part of the morning in the museum gardens sketching the ruins and completing their York Diaries.
We then met up with Mr Pratt who led the childen on a tour of the city walls, explaining even more about the Roman history of the city and how the walls were excavated. This was followed by a trip into the heart of the city where we gathered in the Shambles. This is the old butchers district of the city and we sat the childen down to sketch the Tudor buildings. We ate lunch in the shadow of the Minster before meeting the coaches to take us to the Swimming pool.
In the evening we headed back to the Viking village for an evening of Viking entertainment. The children made viking games, bracelets and examined Viking artefacts. They then sat down to listen to a Viking Saga about Thor's hammer and a wedding dress.
Tomorrow we are aiming to set off as soon as the children have eaten breakfast and tidied their room. Throughout the journey I will be posting regular travel updates to try and give as accurate a time of arrival as possible.
Good night for now and look forward to returning home tomorrow.
See you soon.

Dear Mr Leach
Thank you so much for the photos. One in particular has reassured me that my child is indeed not spending the whole day crying or in a poor state of health, as mentioned in the postcard!!!!
Thank you to all the teachers for looking after the children and mine especially. It obviously has taken some extra TLC.
Looking forward to tonight. Let's hope our little darlings won't be too grumpy after the long journey.
