Apreciados todos,

Son ya 52 años de la andadura de Idiomas Padre Manyanet con la finalidad de ser un complemento que creemos importante para vosotros, los padres, y como no para todos los estudiantes inscritos en nuestro Programa de Idiomas de 2016.

Aprovecho pues, desde cada uno de nuestros BLOGS, para daros las gracias por vuestra confianza y colaboración para que cada uno de los Grupos haya llegado al final cumpliendo los objetivos que nos habíamos propuesto: mejorar el idioma y pasarlo bien.

Os deseo que paséis un FELIZ VERANO EN FAMILIA y un ¡HASTA SIEMPRE!

 

Muy cordialmente,

In the evening takes place the Farewell Gathering. Everything is prepared: flowers, Cards, Songs… Núria and Fede have prepared their roll as moderators. All our families are attending. Fr Jesús and Ms Antonia thanked the families their enrollment helping us to improve in English speaking, and also begged their pardon for please thank you and pardon missed in our English. We all sang “Seré tu Hogar” a Manyanet Hymn.

We thank Mrs Sue Bound her teaching. Then after we received the Certificates of Attendance. It was an special moment as a result of our stay and we sang The Happy Song before we have a Slide show remembering quickly these three weeks in England.

OXFORD AND THE UNIVERSITY

 

Saturday 16^th of July

This Saturday we went to Oxford. When we arrived there the first thing we saw were a lot of bikes because all the students usually go to their universities by bike.

Later we started to walked around the city. We entered in a church and when we finished seeing it Father Jesus told us to follow him. We passed a door and we started to go up the stairs, when we went at the top of the tower we were able to saw the entire city. It was beautiful.

After this we went into different colleges, one of them was the Stage of a Harry Potter film! finally we went outside to have our lunch.

After lunch, we had free time for visiting Oxford on our own. First we went to shops, to buy some things as sweaters, trainers, chocolates and so on. We met the people that are in Birmingham families. After that, we went to buy some snacks, and at last we had our snacks sitting at the street because we were all so tired. Finally we took the train to Leamington at 17:15
