1st part of the Exchange between IES Ramón y Cajal and The Archbishop Ilsley School of Birmingham

In the middle of February, our school RyC has started a new Students' Exchange, this time with England and a secondary school called Archbishop Ilsley Catholic School and Sixth Form College from Birmingham. Two teachers accompanied the nine students on exchange and all of them were hosted by teachers and students from our school.

Many different activities were prepared by Begoña Toro, the teacher in charge of this part of the exchange. Among them, they had a gymkhana around the city center, a day trip to Alicante and a vist to the Volvo Ocean Race Museum. Besides these exciting trips they also participated in different school activities that took place in some vocational courses' lessons and also in the "ColofónFest", a giant party in the school gym.

We hope that the close friendships that students have created lasts many years.

2nd PART OF THE GERMAN-SPANISH EXCHANGE

From 26th January to 2nd February, the second part of the Spanish-German Students´ Exchange took place. Thirteen students from 3rd, 4th ESO and 1st Bachillerato, accompanied by two teachers, J.Pablo & M. Jesús travelled to Stuttgart to improve their oral skills and enjoy an intense week.
The high school is located in Göppingen, so all the students were hosted in the sorroundings of this town.

Among the many activities we did there, I could say that the unforgetable one was the day we spent in THE ALPS. It was a breathtaking experience.

Here we can see some photos of the whole group in different moments throughout the week.
