Comenius Project
Three children in 5th. class and two staff visited Seville in Spain as part of the Comenius Project this year. It was a
great success and the children enjoyed their stay in the family homes. Various tours of Palaces, churches, parks and much
more were enjoyed during the visit as well as the weather (39 C most days!). Next visit will be to Poland in May which is the
final part of the Project. Trip takes place from 8th to 13th. May. Staff only going. The Children have prepared a Song, Dance and Mime
on the Tolerance Theme and a DVD is being presented in Poland, as part of the Project.
