Last week we had a busy, fun packed week hosting our visitors from Pokane High School, Lesotho. It was a privilege to spend another week together, learning from each other and sharing our cultures. It’s goodbye for now…until the next time! #prideofplace2024 #dolencymru #taith

A visit to Mt Moorosi today. After being greeted and briefed by the local Chief, we set on our way. We made the steep ascent to the top to see the historical baths, local caves and ruins of a fortification, alongside the stunning 360 degree views. #PrideofPlace2024 #Sebakasahaeso

This group make us proud every single day. They’ve truly embraced the experience with open arms from teaching to hand washing their school uniforms and embracing a digital detox! They have been wonderful ambassadors for Dyffryn Taf, @DolenCymru and @taithwales #PrideofPlace2024

Our mascot ‘Pula’ (Sesotho for rain after last nights weather) is soaking up the atmosphere with us at Schiphol Airport but we can’t wait to get to Lesotho to visit our partner school Pokane High 🇱🇸

And we’re off! A short flight to Amsterdam followed by a long haul flight to Johannesburg and a further 12 hour journey to Quthing, Lesotho but so worth it to be reunited with our partner school Pokane High again. Excited! #PrideofPlace2024 @TaithWales @DolenCymru

Glan-y-Moyeni out in Carmarthen to fundraise for @glanymorschool & @DyffrynTafGeog Lesotho-Wales exchange visits in 2024! Amazing team work! 🇱🇸 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @DolenCymru @TaithWales #Lesotho200 #PrideOfPlace2024

Our final day in Gdansk started with a guided walking tour of the old town followed by some essential amber and souvenir shopping then lunch before heading to the Solidarity Museum. It’s been a fantastic few days making memories. Until next time! #poland2023 #PolishEmbassyUK 🇮🇩

Today was rainy but didn’t dampen our explorer spirits. We spent the morning at the WWII Museum then we went on the hunt for the best Polish doughnuts in town followed by a few games of pool before soaking up the city views from the Amber Sky Wheel #poland2023 #PolishEmbassyUK 🇮🇩

Another glorious autumnal day in Gdansk today. A visit to Westerplatte and Sopot this morning followed by a tour of the Emigration Museum this afternoon and then ten pin bowling this evening. A thoroughly wonderful day again #poland2023 🇮🇩 #PolishEmbassyUK

[Dyffryn Taf Geog Dep @DyffrynTafGeog]

A great first day exploring Gdansk &. the war cemeteries. The weather has been glorious - sunny & dry with a crisp chill in the air! A lovely meal in the Hard Rock Cafe this evening & now for a game of bingo. An early night for all - tired after the 1am start! #poland2023 🇮🇩

Dorset Day 3 - a successful morning of fossil hunting at Charmouth followed by a survey of the coastal defences at Lyme Regis. As soon as we bound the bus back for Wales it started to rain! We will miss the sunshine and scenery - until next time! #Dorset #geography

Dorset Day 2 - Collecting footpath erosion data with @LulworthRangers on the way over to Durdle Door. Our students were amused to see former Dyffryn Taf geographers modelling what to do on the PowerPoint. Brought back great memories! #part2
