School Trip to Spain: Cádiz and El Puerto de Santa María
Wheatley Park- February 2024
We were happy to welcome St. Michael’s school in El Puerto de Santa María ! The group stayed with us in our Spark Residence where they took part in our Spanish classes and learned about the Spanish culture through the cultural activities that the Spark team had organized.
Their trips started on monday with their arrival at Gibraltar where they were picked up by the Chaperone. Everyone were then transferred to El Puerto, once arrived to the Spark residence, they went to El Puert city centre where they walked around and then competed in a scavenger hunt around the city. Later, they all gathered to the rooftop and enjoyed together barbecue and some games.
On Sunday, everyone went to Cadiz. They visited Torre Tavira and got to watch the last day of Carnaval of Cádiz, blending in with the locals and having an unique experience. After a really long day, they ate tapas at a local restaurante , along with the Chaperone Pedro and all the bar stuff who made everyone sing and dance.
Next day, they started with the “rota” activities : they had three typical Spanish classes. They made paella, had a Flamenco dance class, and in their Spanish class they made postcards about their trip. After a few rounds, everyone moved to the roof and enjoyed the delicious paella everyone made. After paella, everyone went to La Puntilla beach and had a really fun time . After dinner on the rooftop, they had their departure ceremony after dinner on the rooftop, with pictures of their stay and everyone got a Spanish certificate.
On the last day they got another spanish lesson before heading out to have some churros, afterwards they went to the airport and took their flight back to the UK.
We enjoyed our time with Wheatley Park here and hope it was a memorable experience for everyone.
