SCHOOL TRIP TO MOJÁCAR (ALMERÍA)

Hello again dear friends!

This post is about the school trip to Mojácar we (4^th, 5^th and 6^th levels) did the last Thursday, the 23^rd November. We left school at 9:20. It was really sunny, as usual. We went to Mojácar by bus and near the seaside, so we enjoyed the beautiful coastal landscape through the windows. We arrived at the shopping centre at 10:00 and we went upstairs to Kiss FM (it is in the second floor), the radio station (106.8 FM). There, Richard was a good host and he was outside waiting for us. We sang the “Happy Birthday” song because it was his. Then, we went inside the radio station and we can appreciate how the radio works (the music, the interviews, the reception, the phone calls…). Some of the students take part in the live programme and Richard and the students interviewed each other. It was a good experience for both. We are really thankful for the time we stayed there and all the members who work in Spectrum FM. Later, we had breakfast in a near park.

The second place we visited was an art gallery. There, an English couple was waiting for us to show how they feel and transmit their feelings through the art. The paintings were colourful and quite good. After the introduction, the students interviewed them for about 20 minutes.

The last place we went was the city centre and there we can enjoy the viewpoint. Then, we went to the tourist office and one group heard some explanations about the history of the city, the festivals, the traditions, and we watched a video.  Meanwhile, the other two groups were buying some souvenirs (presents) for their families and they can practice their English (and French).

It was 13:30 pm and we had to come back to school. Anyway, we reached the main aim of the school trip: the use and practice of the English language. The students enjoyed a lot the experience and we are sure we will repeat this school trip next year. We are really thankful to Spectrum FM, the art gallery “Fuente de Mojácar” and the tourist office whose members were always in contact with the school and planning the activities.
