Hola, noticias de España: today fuimos a Barcelona and we got to see all the places from our year 8 places in a town classes. Visitamos el estadio Camp Nou, el parque Guell, la catedral Sagrada Familia, el castillo Montduit and an old Plaza de Toros that is now a centro comercial. Hacìa mucho calor y sol!

All were blown away by the size and detail of the Sagrada Familia with one student describing it as absolutely magical! The group were a credit to the school and themselves today. Mañana vamos al parque tematico Portaventura

Bueños tardes de España, today fuimos a playa and we had our “Castillos de arena” competition! Abeigh, Tegan, Beth, Callum, Issy T, Oscar, Abbie and Arianna won with their “Salva a las tortugas” effort…which was not only a fab sculpture but also cleaned up the beach. Then fuimos a Reus a visitar el museo de Gaudi and the students got to see where Spain’s most famous architect got his inspiration. Tomorrow we’ll see all his actual work! Next stop Barcelona.

After being awake since 3am the year 8 Spanish trip have arrived in good spirits to Salou. Weve settled into the hotel and the students have got to practice their food and drink vocabulary at the local supermarket…agua, patatas fritas, chocolate y helados. Then fuimos a la playa and had a paddle to cool down. Hasta mañana.

During your summer break, capture culture from food, places, languages or even clothing by taking a photograph whereever you are.

Students who have returned from the Y8 Germany trip must hand in their completed project by Friday 12th July to Mrs French in ML1. There will be a prize for the best project.
