A FUNNY DAY IN COVENTRY

In 8th July we went to school and started classes at 9.00 am very punctual.
Alison and John, our teachers, sat us one boy and one girl respective, and we played funny games, spoke about real questions (war, pollution...) and we also did adjectives exercises.
At half past 10, more or less, we stopped the classes because of the breakfast but at eleven we returned with our teachers.
When we finished the classes we ate togehter in Newbold Terrace Park, and later we took the train from Leamington to Coventry.

There, we went to Ice-Skating and we skating a lot, and when we were tired, we left to visit the New Coventry's Cathedral; while Fr Jesus was explained some interesting historic anecdotes about Coventry.
At 17.15 we took the train and we came back Leamington.

BOWLING IN LEAMINGTON SPA

Every day we met in the school and started classeswith differtent games and exercises.

The classes are funny!

More over, at half past twelve we had lunch with our "delicious" meal.

In the afternoon we went to the bowling and we had done two matches. In the first match, we make groups, but then, we stand over levels.

When we finished with the bowling, everybody went to their houses because we were tired and we want to be on time for watching semi-final Spain-Germany.
It was a great day!

VISITING BIRMINGHAM

Today we met our teachers, Alison and John. To encourage us to learn English they asked us to build bridges as languages are between people.

In the afternoon we went to Birmingham by train. When we arrived Fr Jesús told us about the long jewellery tradition in Birmingham. In this quarter we visited The Pen Room, a museum and learning centre of writing and pen trade memorabilia for more than a century. We have learnt about the different manufacturing processes and we tried to write with a quill. To finish this beautiful (and I must say sunny) day we went to the Bullring shopping but we had only 30 min to do that because of the time to return to our houses and we got back later than we thought.

ARRIVING IN LEAMINGTON

Students from Madrid arrived in Leamington today by midday and the ones from Barcelona a short time late, because they slept in Birmingham at BCU's residence, and early in the morning they took a coach and came to Leamington.

Today we have visited a little bit of Leamington and we have done our bus-passes. As the teachers will be there tomorrow, we sat a test so they may have an idea of our level in English.

By 5:45 our host families came. We met them and we went to our new home for the next three weeks. They are very nice. (Monday 5th)

Quiero pues, agradecer desde aquí, en primer lugar, todo el trabajo llevado a cabo por los directores de grupo y los monitores responsables de cada uno de ellos.
Asimismo, agradezo a los padres la confianza que habéis tenido con Idiomas Padre Manyanet. Que todos terminemos de pasar un feliz verano en familia y hasta siempre.

EVERYTHING IS DRAWING TO AN END...

On the 23rd of July, we attended English lessons in the morning. We reviewed some of the lessons we had already learnt during our stay during the first two hours of class and then, in the third one, we carry on with the preparation of next Friday's Get Together ceremony! As everything goes to an end, we took a class photo. We had lunch in the park all together and at 2 p.m. we went to the swimming pool. After that, we came back home. We sadly had almost our last dinner with our lovely English families...

BIRMINGHAM PEN MUSEUM

On the 22nd of July, we attended our English lessons, as always and in the afternoon, we visited Birmingham. We went there by train and then, we had to catch the metro until the Jewellery Quarter, one of the most known neighbourhoods in this city. We went to the Pen Museum. We stayed there more than two hours, I'm afraid! There were lots of old machines and even, we could use them. We could also write on our own, which was amusing! After that, we went to the city centre and we had one hour to go shopping. At 17.20 p.m., we met the group and we caught the train in a different station, which was in the city centre. As it is a big city, the station was really overcrowded, which got on our nerves! Once in Leamington, we went back home. It was actually one of the best visits, from my point of view!
