POP-UP CREPES

On Friday 1 November, we had our second visit to East Campus by Pop-Up Crepes (they also came last year). The visit was organised by the Languages Society, with Charlie Robbie of year 9 doing a lot of behind-the-scenes organisation.

The crepes were delicious, and our students who dared were able to order in French from Cedric and his helper.

FLAMENCO WORKSHOPS - YEAR 8 SPANISH

On Thursday 7 November, we were fortunate enough to experience first-hand traditional flamenco dancing. 

The incursion allowed us to be showered in authentic Spanish culture.

The music and ambience of flamenco really transports you to another world full of colour, culture, and excitement. 

I personally really enjoyed the colourful fans and shawls they introduced. 

They were so fun to dance and experiment with. 

Overall, this incursion was a really fun experience for many and I hope other students have the same opportunity we did.
