Hello everyone!
Here we are in our last week here! We are having such a wonderful weather now in Norwich...since Saturday all sunny and warm! The students are so happy about that!
Our weekend was perfect. The six students that are still here, went to Sandringham on Saturday. I couldn't go with them because I had to go with the other students to London Stanted because they were leaving back home (we really miss you here guys!). There in Sandringham, they could visit the house that the Queen of England has got there to spend the summer. They told me it was a beutiful place; they enjoyed a lot going around the gardens that were spectacular! Afterwards, they could go to the beach and there, they sunbathed adn the had a walk, they told me they had a great time! Then on Sunday, we all had free time with our host families as always.
Yesterday, Monday, they had classes in the morning and then, in the afternoon, we went to Guildhall, here in Norwich, very close to the center of the city. Guildhall is a very old building, nearly 500 years old, where all the judgements in Norwich took place. There, they were divided in two groups and they did two activities: one, it was a little bit of drama representing how a judgemente from that time was, and the second one, they had to do a little bit of writing about the different characters they had represented in the trial.
Here you've got some pictures of them doing the activities. We laughed a lot, specially when they were doing the trial! (look at Miguel, Alvaro and Sergio with the funny wigs!)
Hola a todos!
Aqui estamos en nuestra ultima semana por aqui! Tenemos un tiempo esplendido en Norwich...desde el sabado que esta caluroso y soleado! Los chicos estan contentisimos!
Nuestro fin de semana fue muy bien. Los seis estudiantes que aun se quedan aqui, fueron a Sandringham el sabado. Yo no pude ir con ellos porque tuve que acompanar a los otros cinco a Londond Stanted porque se iban de vuelta a casa (os echamos mucho de menos chicos!) Alli en Sandringham, pudieron visitar la casa de verano que tiene la Reina de Inglaterra. Me dijeron que era un sitio muy bonito, se lo pasaron muy bien visitando los jardines de la casa que eran espectaculares! Despues, pudieron ir a la playa donde tomaron el sol y dieron un paseo! El domingo, todos tuvieron dia libre que pasaron con las familias.
Ayer, lunes, tuvieron clases por la manana y por la tarde fuimos a Guildhall, aqui en Norwich muy cerca del centro de la ciudad. Guildhall es un edificio muy antiguo, unos 500 anos de antiguedad, donde se llevaban a cabo todos los juicios de Norwich. Alli, los dividieron en dos grupos y realizaron dos actividades: una, en la cual tenian que hacer una pequena representacion de como seria un juicio de aquella epoca y la otra, donde tuvieron que hacer una actividad escrita sobre los personajes que habian representado en el juicio.
Aqui teneis algunas fotos de los chicos en las actividades. Nos reimos un monton, sobre todo cuando estaban haciendo la representacion! (mirad a Miguel, Alvaro y Sergio con las pelucas tan graciosas!!)

Here you've got some pictures of the excursion we did yesterday to Somerleyton Hall. First, when we arrived, we did a tour around the big country house. There we could see some parts of the house (dining room, living room, library, the area where they celebrate weddings, etc) and a lady explained us a little bit about the history of the place and the family that live there nowadays. It was originally bought by Sir Peter Fitzosbert in 1240 and then it was John Wentworth who transformed it into a big mansion, but it was not until 1843, when Samuel Morton Peto rebuilt and redecorated huge mansion anda gardens that we could enjoy yesterday.
After one hour and a half by bus, we arrived in this beautiful city, Cambridge! First, we had a walk around visiting some colleges and then we went punting! They had lots of fun though the weather was terrible. It was raining all the time. Here you've got some pictures of that moment! Finally, when we arrived in Norwich, most of us went for dinner all together because Saturday was the first day of Lord Mayor's celebrations here in the city and so they wanted to see the fireworks! We're so lucky to be able to enjoy so many celebrations in Norwich! 
Here you've got some pictures of the students playing bowling this morning! For some of them it was the first time, but surprinsingly they were the ones who got more points in the game! Afterwards, lunch and back to school again! This evening we're going to see the Olimpic Torch! It has arrived to Norwich today. We're all excited about it; probably this is the only oportunity to see something like this! 
And finally Tuesday arrived! All of the students were really looking forward to the Disco Night yesterday! Two hours and a half non-stop dancing! All girls and boys were looking really smart with their beautiful dresses, high heels, T-shirts... We all had a great time! David Guetta, Rihanna, Danza Kuduro...they all loved listening to the super hits! Here you can see some pictures of them with some Italians and a video of Paloma, in the middle, and the rest of the students dancing around! Amazing evening!
Here you've got a picture of our visit to the Norwich Cathedral this morning! Sunday was a great day, though a little bit windy, so all of us went for a walk round the city in the morning and then in the evening...we all watched the BIG FINAL! Well done Spain! We are all so excited now! Some of the students watched it at home with their host families and others just met some Italians in town to go somewhere and watch it all together! Now, here we are at school. They've just done their test level, so tomorrow they can start working hard with their English at school after doing some sports in the morning with Dave, our Group Leader here!
