ENGLISH COURSE IN BROADSTAIRS (KENT, ENGLAND)

This year our English course took place in Kent School. The school is located in the town of Broadstairs, county Kent, England. It took place from 12^th to 18^th of June. Thirty- eight students from 2º and 4º of ESO and four teachers participated in the course.In Broadstairs we stayed with families. In the mornings, we attended classes while in the  afternoons and evenings we had different kinds of activities (karaoke, sports, barn dance, workshops, quizz games, cinema…). We also visited some nearby towns such as Margate, Ramsgate and Canterbury.On Saturday, we spent the whole day in London. First we took a boat from Greenwich to Westminster so we could see London from the River Thames. Then, we went sightseeing. We saw the London Eye, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace and Saint James`s Park where we had lunch. In the afternoon we went to Westminster Abbey, the Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament and we stopped in Picadilly Circus for shopping. Later we walked through China Town and we got to Covent Garden where we also had some free time. We spent the night in a hotel near Stanstead Airport and we took the flight back to Asturias early in the morning.It was a great and unforgettable experience for all of us. We practiced English, made new friends and had a lot of fun.Here you can see some pictures of this activity.
