STUDENTS and staff from Sir James Smith's Community School visited Belgium at the end of last term as part of the school's 2014 activities week programme. The 41 students and six members of staff stayed in a youth hostel in the town of Namur on the river Meuse in French-speaking Belgium and enjoyed day-trips to Brussels, Aachen in Germany and to Dreilandecke on the border between Germany, Belgium and Holland. Here they were able to stand, sit or lie in three countries all at once. Evenings saw them taking in riverside walks, bowling and a restaurant visit for traditional Belgian waffles. On the return journey, via the Eurotunnel, there was a last-minute shopping trip to the Cité Europe hypermarket near Calais.
