Mr Lwanga enjoying some down time

Last nights donkey awards went to BR for managing to punch one of her teammates in the eye and blackening it! She also held up the coach to the netball that morning as she had left her key in her room.

The second nomination is for a repeat offender KL. He managed to arrive to play football with no socks and then half way through the day lose his shin pads. He has also accrued the most number of sanction minutes of all of the students for “silly” mistakes

We are currently experiencing a Tarragona wide chemical lockdown DRILL - just in case any of the students manage to get the story they tell you a little confused. It was a planned DRILL.

Beautiful evening tonight in Salou to walk and get the obligatory photo at the Salou sign

Still plenty to catch up on, but to update, we are getting ready to leave the hotel for a day in Barcelona... its another hot one..

We have arrived in Barcelona, at the Nou camp. It’s a real shame we can’t do the stadium tour, but we can still do the immersive tour which shows the history of the club alongside lots of trophies football kits and players information.

Our final donkeys is KS for accepting a slightly risky dare to win an ice cream - she did get it!

Nothing like a run to the gate... a rather slow check in by our airline has meant we've had no time airside... we'll have to make do with a biscuit for supper for now... we should be leaving Barcelona on time... ish... but we may be hungry!

We have cleared customs and are on the coach. ETA at The Misbourne is 11.15

So a final post from me, though Mr Tebb is compiling a video montage of the epic football win. Congratulations to all of the students on your conduct throughout the trip. You made the staff very proud and upheld all standards and expectations of the school.

Parents they were a credit to you. We came home with 3 trophies, which is our best haul ever but more importantly a lifetime of memories. Looking forward to catching up this week and please bring kit/equipment to the PE office ASAP

A snapshot of our visit to the Camp Nou virtual exhibition, a tribute to all of the FC Barcelona teams, but especially their football. They're going to have to work hard to be ready for the new season!

Two posts required to bring you the brief snapshot of the Salou football; compared to previous years, our teams did well against both 🇪🇸& 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, capped by the success of our Yr10 squad in the tournament. Well done to all of our footballers.
