Saying farewell to the Azores with @ScienceRGS - starting our journey home with amazing memories and new friendships formed over 6 days

[RGS Co-Curricular @RGSCoCurricular]

A final day with @ScienceRGS before we travel home from the Azores - learning about conservation of endemic species and growing pineapples!

[RGS Science Department @ScienceRGS]

We followed our tour with a lovely buffet picnic overlooking the sea, a tour of a pineapple plantation and some time in Ponta Delgada's old town to stock up on souvenirs

Day 4 on the Azores exploring a watermill and learning about the success of conservation efforts of the Azores Bullfinch (Pyrrhula murina)

Another exciting day in the Azores with @ScienceRGS - hiking through temperate rainforest, investigating the history of hydroelectric power on the island and exploring lava tubes

Our Hike was followed by some misty views of a volcanic crater lake and another dip in some hydrothermal baths at Caldiera Velha, some Portuguese custard tarts and finally, a tour of the bacterial and geological formations in a lava tunnel

We continued the day by watching a live collection of some cozido das Furnas from the geothermal calderas. The we went to sample the different springs in Furnas including naturally fizzy water!

Team Science are in the Azores learning about its natural history. So far this morning we have learned about how banana trees are grown organically, how the island we are staying on formed and a project to deal with eutrophication at Lagoa das Furnas @RGSCoCurricular

Exciting first day in the Azores with @ScienceRGS - visits to the geothermal pools at Terra Nostra, and the fumeroles at Furnas. #makingmemories @ReigateGrammar

Today's #TSIFriday saw 4 of our sixth form giving some great talks on a range of topics. From explosive to the effects of sunlight on our circadian rhythm from memory metal to synthesises.
