BTEC 2......Cleethorpes Visit

On a very wet and chilly day, we hopped into the mini bus and headed off to a not so sunny Cleethorpes. The 2nd year Btec needed a gallery visit and Fine Art staff needed fish and chips!
 
 
'Before we set off' snap....Alex on the left looks like she has horns coming out of her head (HeHe!!) So, I took another........
 
 
Almost all of the BTECers - back row - right to left:
               Sian,Megan,Deanna,Hannah,'Spud',Shannon
                          Alex & Pui Si
Harley, Chad & Francis were all M.I.A but we did think about you all - briefly!
 
 
Alex having a nap on route.....Pui Si sat next to her revising for her textiles exam.
 
 
I would just like to point out that I was in a cafe having a brew while the heavens opened and it poured down, so the next few photos where taken in the dry!
 

Does look fairly bleak!

 
Oops......window frame in shot!
 
 
Meeting up with the students for lunch. We were a wee bit late but not one of them had ordered food! (or had a go at us for being late!)
 
 
Chips & chicken nuggets seemed to be the preferred choice, although I can spot a bit of salad on the far table!
 




I loved that the curry sauce came in a little silver 'dessert' dish!

We then headed off the the Discovery Centre to view an exhibition, but they were in the process of taking it down! Btec students had their cameras out and were snapping away before they could tell us to leave! We taught them well! So, we decided to head off to Brigg and visit the Steele Rooms so at least the students had options for their journals.

 
Lovely little shop, cafe & gallery. I did happen to notice a few familiar paintings in the window.....
 
 
 
Ummmm.....Miss Thompson these look like yours!
 
The 2nd year BTECs will be leaving us very soon. After 2 years of seeing them every day to not seeing them at all will be sad. We have had laughter, tears, tantrums (usually me kicking off over something & the students telling me to take a 'chill pill') but most of all, they have become a group who all help each other and try to do their best in everything we throw at them. We wish you the very best in all you do in the future and honestly guys, you will ALL be missed. I personally will miss the constant banter, but I shall NOT miss shouting across the art room at Megan & Chad to do work! And if you are both reading this stop now and go and do some work!!
