Strictly Salsa and Sangria!

On Wednesday of enrichment week forty Year 8 students descended upon Liverpool for a true taste of España! Students spent the morning learning to salsa, merengue and zumba and by lunchtime they had mastered an authentic dance routine and even created some moves of their own! Students were taught by a teacher who learnt to dance while living in Cuba, where salsa originates from. In the afternoon students had the opportunity to practise their Spanish speaking skills when ordering drinks and food- all of the staff in the restaurant are native Spanish speakers and were extremely impressed by our students’ language skills! At lunchtime we devoured a traditional Spanish feast including calamares, albondigas and tortilla española followed by a traditional chicken and chorizo paella…all washed down by some tasty non-alcoholic sangria! Muchas gracias to the staff at La Viña and our salsa coach Karen who made this day a truly memorable experience! We wanted to bring Spanish to life for our students and we hope that our Spanish enrichment day achieved exactly that, iOlé!
