 Thinking about it. We could give it a chance, couldn't we?

Video: HOSTING STUDENTS FROM UCKFIELD COLLEGE

As you probably know, our school hosted students from Uckfield College (United kingdom) last December.
Some of the A level students came to our 1st Bach class to talk about their academical system. That was very interesting and our students where surprised at the number of subjects they had to prepare each year ( only 3 or 4!!!)
During the week they were hosted by students from 3 ESO and 1st BACH.

EXCHANGE UCKFIELD COLLEGE- IES ROU

Exchange with students and teachers from Uckfield College (Great Britain)

The week before Christmas (13th-20th) we hosted students and teachers from Uckfield College in the south of the United Kingdom
Despite the terrible weather, heavy storms and rain, the students had a great time visiting Vigo, Santiago and A Coruña. They also spent two whole mornings at school attending lessons, learning about our academical system and explaining theirs, sharing experiences and practising Spanish.
The families did their best to make the students feel at home and opening their homes and hearts to them.
The behavior of the British students was excellent and their attitude was absolutely positive even when they were soaking wet  after  the several downpours they had to put up with.
Thank you to the great families and Spanish students hosting. The British students didn't  want to go home!!!

EXCHANGE IES ROU-VIGO AND GINER DE LOS RÍOS-LISBON

We are back from a great week in LISBON. The  exchange was a huge success!!! Students and teachers have had a really interesting time visiting the city, guided by amazing teachers who took  our students through different times in  the history of the city and the country. Among the most outstanding visits: St. George's  castle, Palaces: Ajuda and Queluz, Jerónimos Monastery, Belem Tower,  Maritime Museum.

Statue of D. Henrique, promoter of the Age of Discovery

This year the school project at GINER DE LOS RÍOS is about the Circumnavigation so we focused and learnt about those first expeditions in  the Maritime Museum, we saw the impressive buildings mentioned above and some of them built thanks to the wealth involved in the discovery of the new world. 

.

                                                        
We were also taught about the devastating earthquake (1755) and the reconstruction of the modern city we know today. 



The students were gladly surprised by the warm welcome of the families.

It has been an amazing experience which will continue in a months’ time  in Vigo where the Portuguese students will be hosted by families and IES ROU.

We can’t wait to have them here!!!

Thanks to the organisers and the families who did their best to make things work. And they DID WORK!!!

A link will be shortly shared where you will find a bunch of photos from my camera.
