Third and Fourth Form pupils studying Spanish recently embarked on a cultural adventure to Barcelona, where they explored this fabulous city steeped in culture whilst honing their linguistic skills learnt in the classroom.
First stop, was a trip to La Sagrada Familia, a basilica designed by Antoni Gaudí, with an insightful guided tour. No time to rest, however, as pupils were quickly put to work completing their ‘Barcelona booklets’ – answering GCSE-style comprehension questions testing their newly learnt cultural knowledge. Pupils then visited The Family Language School, where they practised their general conversation skills in real-life situations by interviewing members of the public. Other highlights of the trip included a visit to Gaudí’s beautiful Park Güell and a steep ascent to the Bunkers del Carmel, which rewarded the group with panoramic views of Barcelona from the Spanish Civil War bunkers.
Overall, Barcelona offered the pupils an educational and linguistically enriching experience in one of Spain’s most impressive cities. ¡Qué fantástico!
