A day at Blackpool Pleasure Beach

Our end of year trip to Blackpool Pleasure beach today was just brilliant! And what fabulous weather! 

We travelled in the college minibus with Joe our driver. He has taken us on all our trips this year, he is a lovely man, a real gentleman.

It didnt take too long before we were looking out for Blackpool tower and getting very excited.

And we are here!

And here are off!

A selfie before the ghost train! 

On the steeplechase (we won!) 

Lunch at Burger King with a great view of the Big One

Wilson decided to show everyone how to make the most of this ride!

Then time for some fun photos.

And we didnt get away with it either...

Time for Doughnuts!

Our final teambuilding! Skiing!

Our team building activiies over the year have brought us all together so we thought we would make the last one out of college. 

We went to Ski Rossendale.

Once the boots were on we practised with one ski on then tried with both.

The instructor was so helpful and Alexis our team building leader helped us too. 

Soon we were off!

Great first attempts seen here.

Sometimes you just need a helping hand?

Getting good now. Although we did look like birds flapping our arms about for balance.

And of course, there were falls......

And the backwards skiing!

A bit of timeout and a sunny selfie with our Lisa. Love them glasses!

Sometimes its hard getting back up.

And now... For the big slopes!

Getting to grips with the chair lift was a challenge!

And not everyhting went to plan....

A bit of scream skiing?

A bit of time lapsed skiing

We had a wonderful time.and we are a great team!

Thank you Ski Rossendale and their great instructors

See you next week when we can..

We know how your feeling. Don't worry

I asked some of the students I had on level one last year to tell this years students how they felt last year at this time and what level two is like.

Here is what they said.

Q. How did you feel about moving on to level two? 

'Last year at this time we felt really nervous and panicky about the group changing and who we were going to have as our tutor. We thought the students in the other group were stuck up ( they aren't) 

Q. What did you feel like when you started in September?

We felt a bit on edge. It soon calmed down when we got put into groups and team building sessions helped us settle in. 

Q. What's level two like?

Doing your first clients is scary but it's okay as long as you remember everything you were taught in level one. It comes back to you. 

It's not as hard as you might expect, you do get to feel more comfortable with the clients and there are no assignments! But make sure you revise for the exams as they are hard.

It goes quickly because your busy doing clients. 

We all get along well, we feel more mature now and are starting to feel like real hairdressers!

Thank you, Lauren, Sheri and Saman.

I'm sure they will feel better now. 

A hairdressing video about Skin Tests

We had so much fun making our own video about

Skin Testing.

First we researched about the importance of skin testing, how we do one and what could happen if you don't do one.

We even made up a little song!

Let us know what you think.
