World Challenge – Iceland 2023

September 21, 2023/in General News, Trips & Visits, World Challenge /by Presdales School

10 Night Expedition in Iceland

In July, six teams set off to experience the spectacular sights of Iceland. This adventure of a lifetime saw our students discover geysers and thundering waterfalls in the Golden Circle, trek past volcanic peaks in Kerlingarfjoll, get hands-on with a conservation initiative (beach clean-up) and visit the Westman Islands and the South Coast.  The students were driven along Europe’s biggest ice cap, Vatnajokull. This national park is an extraordinary sight, with 30 glaciers flowing out from the ice cap. The students even had the opportunity to strap on some crampons and walk on a glacier. We are very proud of our students who worked well in their teams, stepped out of their comfort zones and learnt a wealth of invaluable new skills while making some extraordinary memories.

Here are some wonderful photos from this amazing trip …

Spellian

Well done to the 32 students who participated in our language exchange with Spellian. This year we continued our partnership with Liceo Ancina in Italy and began new connections with students IES Severo Ochoa in Spain and Gymnasium Holzkirchen in Germany.

Spellian conversations are done from home, by video conference, using the Spellian online platform. Each conversation lasts around 30 minutes, with half of the time spent speaking in Italian and half in English. The programme provides an excellent opportunity for students to strengthen their listening and speaking skills and boost their confidence in speaking a foreign language in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Many of our students have formed real friendships with their partners and discovered lots of interesting details about life in Italy, Spain and Germany. Video calls with people we don’t know can be intimidating and we are very proud of the resilience shown by the students who took part.

We will be launching Spellian 2023-24 again in September to MFL students in Year 10 upwards and we strongly encourage students to take part (it even counts towards the Skills section for the Duke of Edinburgh Award!).

Mrs Evenden

Celebrate Speaking!

For the second year running, a Presdales student has been celebrated at the British Council ‘Celebrate Speaking!’ event.

‘Celebrate speaking!’ is a festival of languages in education and community through speaking and performance. Students were encouraged to prepare and recite a poem in the language they are studying. The committee were impressed with the Russian submission by Nicol Coman in Year 9 entitled ‘Autumn in rowan beads’ and invited her to perform it at the live event on Thursday 4th May. Mrs Willett and Nicol enjoyed a variety of performances in over 15 languages and lots of the students talked about words they enjoy saying in their foreign languages. Nicol presented her work proudly and professionally.

Well done Nicol!
