San Ildefonso Visit

I’m just off to Anfield to watch Liverpool and Athletico Madrid. There will be some photographs and videos of the event …especically if Liverpool win!

If only this match was being played in our school holidays because Mr Rafferty would have had to have sneaked away to watch The World’s Greatest Football Team play in Madrid!!

Best wishes to Luis Garcia (a true LFC hero) and Florent Sinama Pongolle. We hope they play well but not too well!

Monday was definitely funday! Dressed in yellow and red to celebrate the last full day of the spanish chilren we had a mixture of lots of different activities. As well as fun things, Y6 started their cycle training and Y5 were busy preparing for their Structured Lunchtime Play assessment by devising lots of games and activities for Reception and Y1.

You can see a few of the different things we did by clicking on http://albums.phanfare.com/greenparkschool/2129129#imageID=30012096

In memory of the brillliant TISWAS telelvision programme (and becasue I wont be looking at my computer on Saturday) I have decided to rename today’s activities TIFWAS. The children have been in school all day today and through the brilliant work of Miss Hartley we have linked, Maghull with Madrid with Seravella (Barcelona).

Seravella is the place where our first spanish teacher, Carme Sentis (and her husband Albert- who knows more about the city of Barcelona than anyone) now teach. We still stay in touch and it is great to maintain these kind of links.

Tonight we had a BBQ. Very unusually in England ….it did not rain. Everyone had a lovely time. All the families turned up and the children had a great time. Mr Rusling was brilliant on the decks, Mr Davies demonstated his culinary skillls, Miss Newham has a new career as a bingo caller lined up (and a seller of surplus stock), Mrs Cassidy her dancing skills, Mr Hewer his singing skills and Miss Hartley her being very organised looking after everyone skills.

We started today by going Liverpool on a double decker bus. The children loved being on the top deck and being able to see everything as they went on their journey.

We all had a great time on the Liverpool Duck, spending our money on souveneirs, walking along the river front and seeing the Merseyside Maritime Museum. None of the children got lost but we did have to look for Maria and Emilia a few times!

On the way home there were some very tired children!

Amelia and Maria send their regards.

Tomorrow we are going to Liverpool city centre.

Everyone arrived safely at Green Park School in Maghull tonight. The sun was still shining, just, and once all the children met their friends, had a drink and a snack they went home for their first night in England.
