Spanish Week... what a week!

It has been my first Spanish Week in LTPSS and everything has been so intense. We spent a lot of time preparing everything but it was worth it!

First of all, the reactions of all teaching and non-teaching staff: lots of them asking us and the students how greet each other or how to say thanks in Spanish. It seems a tiny gesture but for us and all the Spanish students meant A LOT. So thank you everybody!

The students prepared lots of decorations containing Spanish words or expressions with the help of the amazing Mr. Siu. It was nice to see the students so happy to post their words around. All the activities went smoothly, the Mexican Mariachis sounded really nice, the Spanish food was amazing (even better that my mum’s), the zumba engaged lots of students and teachers dancing like crazy and the Talent Show though it was the first year (and there is a lot to improve) had really nice performances of our students. This kind of intercultural activities are amazing for our students and for us, teachers. We are living in a multicultural city and we need to learn how to hybridize into proficient global citizens, and this week was an excellent example of how to walk this beautiful and rich path of culture-interaction.

Well in the 3rd Spanish week I went to the Mexican Mariachi band to hear their music, then I danced with the Latin music with the two girls from Brazil and Costa Rica, after that I ate the Spanish food in the Spanish Room. Lastly I performed my poem at the talent show. So the best activity is my performance in the talent show because that poem was first performed on 23rd February, 2014 and I was brave when I performed this poem. I really enjoyed the Spanish Week, because it commemorates the arrival of Christopher Columbus to America. I really like the Spanish culture and the Latin American cultures. .
