Spanish Trip to Costa Rica – Pura Vida 2019!

General, News, Senior School, Trips

Twenty six girls and three teachers headed off again to Costa Rica for the half term Spanish language trip, to enjoy a week of new experiences.

There were 20 hours of lessons in a language school complete with hammocks and palm trees, there was flying through the forest on a zip wire, and of course kayaking across the sea to the island of Chora where they could snorkel and eat fresh pineapple.

The group also enjoyed surfing lessons in the warm waters as well as salsa and bracelet making classes, and a bonfire on the beach!

Pura vida!

Inspired by her experience, Loren B in Year 11 wrote the following poem:

 

C

de celoso porque toda mi familia y mis amigos que no están aquí están muy celosos de mí.

O

de oír. Aqui se pueden oír muchos sonidos como las canciones de los pájaros y el aullido de los monos.

S

de sol porque brilla cada día y por lo tanto hace mucho calor.

T

de triste. Voy a estar muy triste de salir de Costa Rica porque me han encantado mis vacaciones aquí.

A

de idioma. Vine aquí para mejorar mi español y ¡misión cumplida!

C

de calor. Hizo mucho calor durante mi estancia aqui así que cuando vuelva a Inglaterra ¡voy a tener mucho frío!
