Day at Ursuline High School

Our England delegation continues to have a wonderful adventures in the UK. Unfortunately, they are experiencing a rather intense heat wave in the UK and, of course, there is very little air conditioning. Despite these challenges, all attitudes remain upbeat and excited about the daily activities.

Today was a special day because our students gave a presentation to the Wimbledon students about life and culture in Texas. The Wimbledon students were particularly interested in the food from Texas and also on the topic of "speaking like a real Texan." Some of our most proper and enthusiastic British sisters are already incorporating "y'all" into their daily expressions!


 
Another excellent activity at Ursuline High School was the "Bookclub" meeting. The students met to discuss various poems and works of British literature that our UA students studies earlier this summer in their "Literary London" class. Their exchange of ideas was great fun!  

 
The evening was particularly thrilling because the group went out to the London theatre to see a production of "War Horse." All agreed that it was a superb production and many concluded the evening tearfully from the emotional ending of the play.  


Sisters!
