Our Last Day of Classes

So the day finally arrived. Sean flew over on Thursday evening to meet us in Alpedrete. We met him at the train station. We had four classes on Friday, double with Year 9, class with Year 10 and a class with Year 8. Sean walked into the classroom with us and immediately they were full of questions for him. During our time with Year 9 we found them to be boisterous at times but with Sean there they were on their best behaviour. We started off by giving them details of figures from Irish mythology like leprechauns, the banshee and pucas. We watched a clip on Youtube to show just how scary the banshee can be. We spent the next class with them writing their own stories. We asked them to write about a Spanish character in Ireland or an Irish Character in Spain. And they didn't fail to deliver. We reviewed each story and passed on their work over the last 3 weeks to their teacher Jan for assessment. We rewarded the group with some sweets at the end of the class to say thank you for all their hard work.

Receiving our cards from Year 10

Year 10 are our oldest group. Sean was introduced to the class. To our surprise the students made hand-made cards for Jamie and I to say thank you which was fantastic. As you can see from their artwork they are a creative bunch. Each student produced a wonderful story.



Just some of the fantastic cards we received.

Year 8 were our most enthusiastic group. When we arrived to class they were in groups rehearsing ascene from a play called Free. Each group then performed the scene for us. We got a group photo with the class. We thanked them for all their hard work and had a little party for the remainder of the lesson.

Year 8
 

Isolda from Year 8 made a booklet from our hand out about St. Patrick.

Beverly one of our supervising teachers invited us out after school. We went to one of our favourite places to eat in Alpedrete, La Casona. We talked over tapas and cold drinks and it was brilliant to end our work experience in fantastic company.
