18th February

Saturday, Double club morning at Alma Paris. As always i was up at half past 6 in the morning to get ready and have breakfast before heading to Phil’s for 20past ready to leave as we had to pick Paul up for half past, by the time Phil was ready we did not get to Paul’s until 20 to! Luckily enough we got up the island to Alma Paris on time. 25 minutes late 24 ids turned up ready to start (3 being girls). We gave a bit of a challenge to the kids who had been there the previous week asking “what year Arsenal were founded” which was something we had went over last lesson! After a few good guesses which were stuff we had looked over we finally got the answer we were looking for 1886. We had an Arsenal hat which had 1886 on the front which went to the only girl who had been there every other lesson! As we worked threw the book about First World War and then on Herbert Chapman we finished off letting the kids right there ‘Dream team’!

For our outside part of the session, we gave them some dynamic stretches and then into races! With and without the ball, which seemed to go down well as everyone looked as if they were enjoying it. (Oore leading while me, Phil and Paul took part to make up numbers)! Leading into some possession games and then matches! As we finished we noticed Oore’s family had been observing our sesison (they took a holiday over here) we got speaking to them letting them know how we were coping over here!

After this Oore went away with his family and us three headed down to the Holetown Festival seeing some street dances and lots and lots of food. We finally bought some chicken, chips and salad (me getting macaroni pie) and sat down to enjoy the food after what seemed a good half hour wait! As we left the festival we headed to the near by pub to watch Arsenal get beat by Sunderland, then headed to a near by beach where we swam out to a platform in the sea and played some football!
