III Exchange The Sir John Colfox - Santa Catalina September 2010

II Exchange The Sir John - Santa Catalina

Dear Families hosting students from Santa Catalina School,

This is a message to thank you ALL for your participation in this year's exchange. We had already experienced the local hospitality, but we feel we need to write to express how grateful and lucky we are to have had you as host families. My students have returned to Spain with the feeling they left behind real parents and brothers/sisters and are looking forward to their partners' visit to Spain. They had a fabulous time, enjoyed the activities and above all they felt like at home. They miss you loads and speak volumes of you. As a group leader, I have to say that I could happily see great connection between you and the kids and I especially want to thank you for trying so hard to make them feel comfortable. They had caring and warm families to look after them. Let me make a special mention to Richard, Amanda and George for their preocupation, extreme kindness, great help and incredible support to deal with Alvaro's incident. I want to thank them in the name of the School, the family and my own. I couldn't ask for more!
Leaving that aside, I am sure it was a good (and exhausting!) experience for you all and ,hopefully, we will be able to continue this lovely project together in the future. I would like to put a special emphasis in the fact that involving families in this type of activities made the whole project much more special,interesting, enriching and worth it.
I find it hard to express with words our gratefulness.... Rest assure you were absolutely fantastic and made a strong impression on us all. A big THANK YOU! ¡GRACIAS!
Looking forward to your visit in Spain!!!!
You can have a look at the pictures taken during our stay on the link under the exchange heading on the left menu.

The Sir John Colfox- Santa Catalina Exchange

Hello Everyone and my apologies for posting soooo late about the exchange. It has been a great 10 days experience and all the students and the teachers have fully enjoyed the activity.
There is a specific entry int he top left corner related to the exchange activities. I started with simple pictures, but I plan to include videos and other relevant issues. I hope you can have a taste of what those days have meant for all of us.
The following link is for the Spanish kids involved in the exchange. I am certain they will love the following video links because they will be able to see people they know and the school presented by students from Colfox.

( I recommend videos 1 (Jesus' and Angela's partners speaking!!!!) and 2 to have a general picture of the School - nice music by the way!)

Visit to Dorset (UK)

For those who may not know, the school is establishing close links with a British school: The Sir John Colfox School in Bridport, Dorset. My visit will mark the beginning of a partnership to work together so that you and the British pupils can work in projects together, do an exchange in this academic year and unite efforts in common activities. You can read a bit more about this piece of news published last 5th October in the local newspaper "Diario Jaén".
