Week 1
|
|
|
Our ITC Capritotti group from Italy spent a
fortnight with us for a programme of lessons and activities.
Here's what happened
during the first of their two weeks:
|
|
|
|
The
Tudor Merchant's Hall and Westgate.
|
Sunday:
Esther met the group at Gatwick Airport and we travelled to
Southampton by private. When we arrived, everyone met their
host families.
Monday:
Everyone took the placement test to find their level, and
then met their teachers. After that, we went for a guided
tour of the city, and did the Southampton 'Walk the Walls'. |
Tuesday: Swimming at The Quays in
Southampton. This was no ordinary swimming trip. We bumped
into Peter Waterfield, who won a silver medal at the 2004 Olympics in
Athens. We even saw his medal, which he won in the Synchronised
10m diving event. Southampton-born Waterfield had just returned
from Athens to receive a hero's welcome from the city... and from Guido,
who had his photograph taken with him!

Wednesday: After
lessons, we went on a trip to the picturesque town of Winchester
and visited the cathedral and the Great Hall, where we saw King
Arthur's Round Table.

Winchester's tourist information website
Thursday: Class
project about Oxford, ready for our trip on Saturday.
Friday: We had a
barbecue party on the school's patio. This was a great chance
to make friends practise English with students of other
nationalities.
Below are some of the
evening's photos.
