PAELLA MASTERCLASS
Yesterday was another fantastic day for Year 8 as they continued to immerse themselves in Spanish language and culture.
In the afternoon, students took part in an engaging paella masterclass where they watched a local chef prepare one of Spain's most famous ...dishes. The group followed the demonstration in Spanish, listening carefully and showing great enthusiasm as they learned about the ingredients, cooking methods, and traditions behind this much-loved meal. Several students volunteered to help the chef during the session, making the experience both interactive and memorable.
It was wonderful to see students embracing the opportunity to develop their language skills in a real-world setting while gaining a deeper understanding of Spanish culture. Their positive attitude, confidence, and willingness to get involved were evident throughout.
After the class, the group enjoyed a leisurely walk along the beach as the evening drew in. Students had the chance to enjoy an ice cream, pick up souvenirs, and spend time with friends while taking in the beautiful surroundings. It was the perfect way to round off a busy and enjoyable day.
