Saturday was a long but lovely day. We set off in a coach that picked us up just outside school and travelled for about an hour and a bit to Segovia (up in the mountains). We first visited the education centre and found out a bit about the palace and the surrounding countryside. Then we got back on the coach and went to visit the palace. It is a beautiful place and everyone enjoyed the walk throught the gardens and the children and the teachers and the parents had a lovely time. Then we got back onto the coach for a short ride to the picnic area. We had some great food and then had a fab time climbing and running and playing football and Mrs Rafferty had a go on the monkey bars…she didn´t quite get to the end but very nearly.

The spanish parents who travelled with us were absolutely fantastic. They have been so generous and kind and friendly and welcoming. The care of Green Park children has been exceptional. The children have been very well behaved and polite as well!

Today is a “rest” day but judging on the activities that are planned by the families i´m not sure “rest” is quite the right word. Michael and Trevor are heading for mountains in search of snow to go skiing.! Mrs brankin and Mrs Hewer and Mrs Rafferty are bit disapointed though……….the shops are closed on Sunday in Madrid!

Again, best wishes to everyone and we will see you soon.
