🇪🇸 Our final day in Cantabria was another fantastic (and very long!) one! 🇪🇸

The morning was spent exploring the local zoo, where we saw an incredible range of animals. Some of the pupils’ favourites included the majestic white tigers, playful orangutans, elegant flamingos and, surprisingly, the guinea pigs! 🐅🦧🦩🐹

We enjoyed a well-earned pit stop at the zoo café, where Miss B and Mr C hosted their end-of-trip quiz – a big hit with everyone! 📝🎉

After walking back into town para comer (for lunch), pupils had one final chance to pick up some souvenirs before the journey home. Judging by the amount of regalitos purchased, a few suitcases may have doubled in weight! 🎁🛍️😄

Once again, the children were absolutely brilliant on the long return journey. After arriving back at FV at 3am, we were all more than ready for our own camas (beds)! 🚌💤

A huge well done to all of the pupils for being such wonderful ambassadors throughout the trip – what a fantastic Cantabria adventure! 🇪🇸✨

🇪🇸 Spain Trip Return Information 🇪🇸

We are due to land at 10:30pm this evening on flight FR2613.

Once we have collected luggage and set off on the coach from the airport, we will ask students to message their parents with an updated and accurate arrival time back at Forge Valley. Please be aware that our return may be before 3:30am, so keep an eye out for this message.

📱 Once you receive the update, we would be grateful if you could share it with any fellow parents who may not have seen it.

Important information:
✅ Passports and GHIC cards will be in students' rucksacks.
✅ Medicines will be either in suitcases or rucksacks.
✅ As we arrive back, we will open the car park gate, so please keep the entrance clear to allow access.
✅ Once the gate is open, cars can follow the coach into the car park to collect students and their luggage.

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to arriving home safely!

🌍 Last week, some of our talented Year 7 linguists travelled to Sheffield High School to take part in a translation competition alongside students from other schools.

As well as competing, they enjoyed a range of language and cultural activities, including pétanque, Blooket competitions and trilingual bingo! 🇫🇷 🇪🇸 🇩🇪

A huge well done to everyone who represented the school so brilliantly, and a special congratulations to Sophie, who was awarded Best Spanish Linguist!

Day 4 Spain

Another fantastic day for the Cantabria Crew. Today we visited the stunning Soplao Caves and enjoyed more spectacular views of the mountains.

On our return to the hotel the children were shown how to prepare a typical paella by Amelia, the chef, and we had an impromptu Spanish lesson - please ask your children the key ingredients and steps to make the dish... in Spanish. After eating the paella, we spent time in our little town Santillana del Mar, which is historic and picturesque.

Finally the children finished the day with their favourite thing, playing together outside the hotel, playing football, frisbee, sticky ball and Dungeons and Dragons, making up dances and all mixing together.
