Update at 11.30am

The coach arrived on time at Dover and it was a lovely, calm ferry crossing. All the children had the opportunity to go out on deck.

Once arriving in France, we enjoyed a stop on the beach!

We have just had dinner and the children are heading off to their rooms to unpack and relax before bed. They are all tired but happy and have eaten well - tomato salad, bread, rice and chicken with vegetables and yogurt.
