Day 4

Another amazing day in Palencia! Our first activity of the day was to visit the Mayor! He was very nice and welcomed us to the city. He even let us sit in the council chairs! He loved his England mug and keyring of behalf of Benedict Biscop Academy and said he was going to use his mug at breakfast. 

Next we went to the school to play a game that the French team have made. It's called Comenius Pursuit. It was great to work together with the other children an answer questions about all the different countries! 

After we had finished our game, we went for lunch at our hotel. We had spaghetti bolognese, chicken, chips and a fried egg followed by ice cream! We enjoyed sitting with the girls from Belgium. 

When everyone had finished lunch, we walked back to school to play some traditional Spanish games. There were five different games set up on the yard for us to play. We played musical chairs with Spanish music, bowling with skittles, bowling with balls, frog and snatch. We also had a little game of 'dush dush' which is very similar to what we call tag. 

Our last job of the day was to present our traditional board game - Beetle Drive. We went to Sylvia's classroom and delivered our presentation. We even followed the presentation up with a game of Beetle Drive with all of the children in her class. 

We're off to bed now as we need lots of energy for tomorrow. A cave, a Roman villa and a disco are our activities for tomorrow!
