Last Last April we went to London, The most beautiful place we’ve ever seen in our entire lives. The first day all of us were very excited , some hadn’t flown and others couldn’t wait for that day to come. Going to London together was a dream since we have met.

On our arrival, we went to do the chek in at the hotel, which was very cosy and our room was the biggest of all! Then we headed to Westminster Cathedral, The Big Ben and the River banks. We took thousands of photos. At Picadilly we were allowed to be on our own to have dinner.

On the second day, we visited The Natural History Museum, where “Night in the museum” was filmed. It was quite interesting and we were given a questionnaire to be filled. After our lunch we rode on the London Eye. It’s a Landmark where you can see the most beautiful views from the top. We were breathtaking and it’s one of the things we liked most. Then we walked to St Paul’s Cathedral to meet Helena, who had decided to visit The Globe Theatre. At night we went back to Picadilly to have dinner and hang out.

The third day was our favourite day: We went to The National Gallery at Trafalgar Square. Then we took a cruise to Greewich and saw the gardens. We came back to Covent Garden and we had free time to do some shopping and have fun. After  buying a lot of souvenirs we went to the Lyceum Theatre to see ” The Lion King”. We enjoyed ourselves. It was unbelievable: It is a Must!

On the fourth day we visited the British Museum, where you can see ancient treasures from all over the world. Then we went walking through all the most beautiful parks : Hyde park, Green Park and St James’ Park, where we had our lunch. Then we headed to Buckingham Palace and on our way back we went to Kings Cross station to step on  Platform 9 3/4 and we browsed at Harry Potter’s shop.

On our last day we visited Sherlock Holmes’ museum and The Beatles’ shop. Before getting the tube to get the plane back we had lunch at Russel Gardens . We were sad to leave London, but we are happy to live this unforgettable experience!!

 Anjalyne made our first school exchange with Águeda Villaverde de 4ºS. She was with us from 2nd Feb to 4th April.  2014. Here it is what she wrote about her experience at Eduardo Pondal school.

I had a wonderful time inSantiago, and eventhough it was nerve racking at first I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything in the world. The thing that I liked most about my trip was the people I met. I could not have asked for anybetter friends, and the amount of Spanish that I learnt here would take me a whole year to learn at school in Canada. One thing that I loved about Santiago was the amazing culture and history, specially of the old buildings.

The thing that surprised me most about Santiago was definitely the school. I say that because it is a lot more difficult than what I amm used to studying in Canada. With that said, I think studying here in Spain has definitely opened my eyes as to what I need to prepare for in the future. One other things that took me a while to get used to was the way the day is layed out. When I say that I mean, that when they eat meals and the time they go to sleep was almost a complete change from the daily layout of Canada.

Although it was hard to be away from home for 9 weeks, considering all the memories I have made, the friends that i have made, and the things that I have learned I would never turn up the oportunity to do it all over again. I can’t wait to come as soon as I possibly can.

Class 3ºS

Three weeks ago we went on a trip to London. Most of the guys in the 3rd level participated in the excursion. Being together for four days was enjoyable!.

Everyday was full of activities: We visited plenty of museums, like the British Museum and The National History one. We also had a ride on The London Eye. The views couldn’t be more impressive! The Houses of Parliament and The Big Ben were as great as the ride on the wheel. It was all incredible.! Apart from that, we went to Greewich by boat. I am sure everybody enjoyed the boat trip.

In this trip we could also spend some time shopping in Oxford and Regent Street. There are a lot of cool big shops shops there.

At night, we spent our time between Picadilly Circus and Leicester Square, a very crowded place in the evenings.

The main goals of this trip were enjoying and learning more English. I think we´ve done it! It was an amazing excursion without any doubt!

Last March, twenty one students and two teachers were in London from Tuesday 11th to Saturday 15th.

We visited many different places such as museums, a big theatre where we saw The Lion King, Greewich, The London Eye, The Big Ben , St. Paul’s Cathedral… Wew sailed Along The River Thames on a small boat and we passed under The Tower Bridge and many beautiful buildings along the river banks.

We moved around the sity by The Tube and on the last day we got on a famouus red bus. It was amazing because we learnt a lot about hoe English people live.

Everyday we had our “Meal Deal” ( a sandwich, a drink and a snack ) at lunch and we had dinner at Picadilly Circus. However, the most important thing is that we were with our friends.

Thank you teachers for this incredible trip!

Last summer I had the great opportunity of spending the three first weeks of August in Canada.  Specifically in  Markham, which is  a big city near Toronto. I was staying with family together with a French girl who shared the same summer course programme.

Honestly, everything was perfect but if I had to choose something I would say that the best part of this trip was meeting new people, living with a family of another culture and of course The Niagara Falls.Perhaps , the food was the worst part . There they eat a lot at breakfast and dinner and they only have a little snack for lunch , just like a sandwich. The first few days I was hungry at all times, but I soon got used to it.The town where I was in is a really multicultural area. It  was amazing to see how a lot of cultures live and mix together and learn from each other. At first,  when  I caught the bus I  always wondered:  “where am I in Canada, Egypt, China, Japan…”. Maybe that was one of the things that surprised me most . If I could, I would repeat the experience a hundred times more. The whole trip is not only learning English ,but  how to live with people with other lifestyle. I think that trips like this one make you think how things are so different from one place to another. Because of this, I recommend this experience to everyone. I think that is something that each of us has to do at least once in a lifetime. It was unforgettable for me so if I have the chance I will repeat it without thinking.December 2013.Rebeca Montoiro 2ºA
