COLLEGE students visited pen pals in France.

Leyton Sixth Form College students have been exchanging emails and photographs with students from Lycee Jules Verne college, in Versailles, Paris.

The two groups spent two days together, one in Paris and another in London.

The Leyton students practiced their French speaking skills, compared different cultures and explored places of interest in the two cities.

Leyton student Stephanie Amoako-Adofo said: ‘I found this experience very interesting. The journey was very comfortable and everyone was very friendly.

"I can’t wait to participate in a similar programme next year. I learnt so much and had so much fun!"
