After some issues with our Visa, Melissa and I have finally arrived at MMU in Crewe! Over the weekend we had a chance to travel and explore the town and it’s surrounding area a little bit. We are lucky to have the train within walking distance of our dorm so we traveled to Manchester on Sunday, where we toured the Manchester Cathedral and had lunch at a local pub. Today was our first day at Leighton Academy and we spent the first half of the day getting to know the staff and students. We were placed in a year two classroom for the rest of the day, which is with students between the ages of 6-7. We had the chance to experience a music class and a gym class with the students today as well as some short lessons. Everyone in the school is very welcoming and friendly, they all have a very positive attitude about the school and all of students. Tomorrow we are going on a field trip with the year two class to a local college. I look forward to getting to know the staff and students better and being able to explore more of England this weekend!
