Good morning, Sunday 23rd was a busy day in Vallclara. The house was preparing to say goodbye to the students leaving in the morning and to welcome the new students joining us in the afternoon. The students woke up early packed the luggage for the ones leaving. We made our beds with new sheets and tidied up every room in the house. At half past eleven, the parents started to arrive. There were happy tears when the students saw their families and also sad tears for going back home and leaving all the friends and experiences at Vallclara until next year. All…

Good morning! Saturday 22nd of July was the day of PortAventura and Costa Caribe and the students didn’t have English classes! We woke up at quarter past seven and had a quick breakfast before going back to the room to pack everything. Some students chose not to go to PortAventura or Costa Caribe, perhaps because they had been before, they stayed in the house and played games with the monitors. These students woke up at half past eight. We arrived at the Park all together and divided in three groups. One was going to Costa Caribe and two were going…

Dear parents, Today, the students had a reverse breakfast with their clothes inside out! We saw t-shirt labels, pants on their heads, socks on the ears and other crazy ways to wear clothes. In Vallclara’s dining room we sit with a monitor and teacher and only speak in English, we ask every question in English: “Can I have some water please?” “How were English classes today?”. After the first class, we had a break where we learnt about the English Challenge. Alongside the Olympics competition, the teams compete by doing different English written activities in their free time. The daily…
