Year 10 students arrived safe and well in Salamanca and have already been busy getting to know their host families and exploring!
Day 1 – All arrived safely after a long day travelling on train, plane and coach. Met with host families and spent first evening dining and getting to know our “Spanish mamas y papas”. Exemplary behaviour from all students and a real sense of team spirit from all groups.
Fauve Penketh and Beth Whitehead “Our host families have made us feel so happy and welcome and we are really happy “.
Arthur Hutchings “I am really happy that I can see my Spanish improving even after the first night”.
Anabella Wheatley, Ruby Wiltshire and Maisie Hare “Our host mother is one of the nicest people we have met!”
