On 27th March four membes of staff accompanied 39 pupils in Years 9, 10 & 11 to Guardamar del Segura, a small coastal town just south of Alicante, to spend six days experiencing first hand something of the culture and language of Spain.
Activities included a visit to a Turrón factory in Jijona, a football match, a town trail in Elche and a visit to Alicante, as well as games on the beach and a day at the Terra Mítica theme park to make the most of the favourable Mediterranean climate!
All pupils benefited from this taste of life in Spain and enjoyed the opportunity of trying out their Spanish - we returned home tired, suntanned and enlightened!!
