English Martyrs's school in Newcastle celebrated Karneval in February with their partners, Regenbogenschule in Germany. They really got into the Karneval spirit, discovered more about our twin town, Gelsenkirchen and learned some German: internationalnewcastle.org.uk/karneval EMPS

A side quest of our Madrid trip was photographing street signs with language ranging from easy to hard. The result is this resource (inspired by @MrFrancisMFL who created a Bilbao version a few years ago!). Ideal for a post-Madrid trip GCSE lesson. tinyurl.com/2cdje84t 🇪🇸

What an amazing trip! We are so proud of every one of the pupils we took to India, showing fantastic generosity, respect, integrity and tenacity as we explored a new country. So many memories made! 🇮🇳 #GCMSIndia
