At the Keble college

 Today we went to the University of Oxford to take pictures together and then went shopping at the City Center.


  Since today was the last day of lesson, we played games in Teacher 1, prepared for tomorrow's presentation in Teacher 2, and went outside to play games. The weather was not so great, but I think we got to know our new friends and schoolmates better.

At the Keble College, there is a church of sorts, and I listened to the organ and looked at the stained glass windows. The campus was very spacious and had beautiful lawns, and we all took pictures together. 

 The City Center, which I am used to going to now, was fun no matter how many times I went there.                                                                        <R.K.>

  Today, new classes have been announced. This is because all Argentine students went back to their home and had to reorganize the classes. Some had new teachers and new classmates, others stayed the same, and so on.   After school, we went to Blenheim Palace. This is a World Heritage Site located in Oxford City. Blenheim Palace was presented to the 1st Duke of Marlborough by Queen Anne and her benefactors in gratitude for his stunning victory at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704.  It is a huge palace and also famous for the birthplace and ancestral home of Sir Winston Churchill.   According to his note, he made two important decision in this palace, that is, to be born and to marry.
