Good morning from Vallclara! Yesterday all the students woke up at 8 o’clock to play some froggy games. The rest of the day went as usual: the students attended to class during the morning and they enjoyed the pool in the afternoon. Yesterday’s clubs were Get Active. The olympic teams played a few games from different parts of the world. Also, they played with a parachute and a giant twister and they tried not to fall from the slackline. The Olympic matches were very interesting! The geese are heading the classification, followed by the Bears and with the Bees in…

Hello everyone! Yesterday we woke up having a reverse breakfast. We had to enter through the exit door and go up the stairs backwards. Some students engaged with the idea by dressing up with their clothes inside out! Afterwards, the students went to class and the rest of the day progressed as usual. We had a delicious lunch and some afternoon activities in English. However, for some students the afternoon was a bit different: they went to l’Espluga de Francolí to do a virtual visit. They had a lot of fun walking around the town while learning with holograms and…

Good morning and welcome to a new term! We are starting a new week, but yesterday was the first day for V12 students. Before having breakfast, we played some froggy games to move a little bit our bodies and wake up. At 10 o’clock, Vallclara’s studies director, Anna Grattan, with all the teachers, reunited the students in the basketball court to tell them the class they were in. The new students were placed according to their marks in the placement exam and the V10 students were replaced  depending on Friday’s exam marks. After having lunch, the students did an hour…

During the morning, we did some activities in Tamarit’s house like nightline, paddle or recording some videos, like a lipdub of the term song «Sax». Before having lunch, we refreshed with a swim in the swimming pool, which we shared with the students from there. In the water we had the opportunity to meet them and dance together some songs. Afterwards, we had lunch and relax a little bit while watching…

Puzzle

Good morning everyone! Yesterday all the Vallclara’s students woke up full of energy and started the day happily with a delicious breakfast and morning English classes. Sadly, after having lunch it started rainning, so we couldn’t go to the swimming pool. When the students finished the afternoon class, they went with their monitors to have some relax in the bedroom. Some of them slept a little bit to recharge energies and the others played cards or games, like “heads up” with their roommates. An hour later, the sun appeared between the clouds, so we decided to go to the swimming…
