Sharing a worship together in the church next to our partner school was a special time. Mr Harts presented information about our school. We are enjoying creating our new partnership thanks to our funding from @ukgconnection

We have had the best day in Berlin. Being inside the dome at the Reichstag was amazing, and we have visited parts of the Berlin Wall and learned lots of history. #Potsdam2024

Feeding time at the zoo. #Segovia2023

[Pilton Bluecoat Academy @PiltonBluecoat]

We have made it to Madrid this morning. The Bernabéu is proving a hit (with most). Some of us are looking forward to the zoo. #Segovia2023

[Pilton Bluecoat Academy @PiltonBluecoat]

We have just had the best last night ever. There were tears before bedtime as they all said goodbye to their new friends. El Peñascal have been fabulous hosts. #Segovia2023

The rain in Spain forced us to alter our plans this afternoon. Archery indoors and a spot of cooking instead of high ropes. #Segovia2023
