Nearly 20 of our GCSE students took part in our first ever trip to Spain.
The group of Year 10 Spanish and Geography students visited Gaudi’s emblematic temple the Sagrada Familia which is still under construction, the Formula 1 circuit of Barcelona-Catalunya, the Picasso Museum, the Maremagnum shopping centre near the famous Christopher Columbus statue, the CosmoCaixa science museum and the city of Vilanova i la Geltru.
Spanish Teacher Ana Martinez Ribeiro said: “The trip was fantastic. The students behaved very well and they did their best to speak Spanish.
“The students were very impressed with the Sagrada Familia because it is massive and quite pretty.
“We also enjoyed our time at the Formula 1 circuit where we saw motorbike training and we even had the chance to do a lap of the circuit in our minibus.
“All the students enjoyed visiting Barcelona and trying the local cuisine.
“The trip gave them a great chance to experience a different culture and to make new friends.”
Fellow Spanish Teacher Ian Griffiths added: “This was one of the best trips I have been on.
“The students grew in confidence throughout the trip. They even approached a group of Spanish students staying in our complex to see if they could play football with them.”
