What's up Brown?!

I hope you all had a really fun Hallowe'en. They don't celebrate it as much over here so I didn't get to dress up in costume but I did get a week's vacation for Half Term Break. My parents came to visit!! We toured around the city of Canterbury visiting museums telling us all about the Romans who lived here many centuries ago, very interesting! We also went to St. Augustine's Abbey, and the seaside town of Whitstable to wander through some art galleries. A really cool place we visited was Dover Castle. It is a real Medieval castle perched on a hill overlooking the sea. The rooms have been decorated similarly to how things would have looked when real kings and queens inhabited it! When we got to London we did a great double decker bus tour, saw the changing of the Horseguards and then saw the musical Billy Elliot which was fabulous! I have included a pic of my school as well, much smaller than Brown, 220 students whereas Brown has closer to 530. Around the middle of October the Canterbury Festival took place here and I was in a parade with my class! We wore costumes that we made and everything! Looking forward to telling you all about my next adventure and hoping it is not getting too chilly in Toronto!
