Blog 3 - reflection

I wanted to write this last night but, after fish bowl-sized glasses of rhubarb gin and tonics, I’m glad I refrained 🤪!  It took well over an hour to get to sleep last night as I was buzzing from meeting everyone.  What a fantastic group of different individuals I couldn’t have possibly have met any other way.  Feels like a blessing to be part of this experience.  


Storm Eunice really tested us yesterday but we finally all got together.  Last but not least we got Hannah from the station this morning, bless her.  


I’ve really enjoyed today and hanging out with the León Lovelies some more.  Something that I’m slightly struggling with this evening is knowing I have to say goodbye to the Valencia group later.  I love my León group and am so excited to get going with them tomorrow, but right now it’s slightly bitter sweet as I hate goodbyes and they are also a fab bunch of people.  Best of luck Valencians and maybe see you in Stansted on 20th March!! 🤗


I’m absolutely stoked (I think I’ve momentarily turned Australian 😳!!) with my timetable… I have a real mixture of ages to teach.  Still apprehensive but am so curious to see how I develop my teaching style over these next few weeks.  Even excited about the possibility of doing summer camps with UKLC.  At my ripe old age I can honestly say I’ve never encountered such a compassionate, professional and knowledge-rich company to work for, albeit voluntarily… for now!?!? 😄


If you are reading this and embarking on this journey with me or the same as me (in Valencia) I wish you an amazing experience.  If you’ve trained / supported us, I thank you.  Friends and family… I feel so fulfilled and I’m not even in Spain yet and I know you know how much that means to me.  


Spanish lesson shortly… sper ca nu mai gândesc in romană pentru o clipa😬🤦🏼‍♀️

What a week!

  My first week is complete and it has been a whirlwind! I have completely fallen in love with Leon, the school I’m teaching at is amazing , everyone is so friendly (students and teachers) and they all seem very excited that I am here which is lovely. The city itself is stunning - can’t complain about my walk to school which is past the incredible Cathedral de Leon!   And of course, the tapas and wine in the evenings is great too!  As the week has gone on I’ve become more and more involved with the lessons and I am genuinely loving every minute, it’s quite daunting standing in front of a full class of children relying on me for instructions (especially as they all have masks on so I can’t see what their expressions are!) but I think I’m getting the hang of it. I have classes of students from 6/7 years old up to 11/12 years old and I adore them all. I have been given lots of drawings and ‘presents’ from the students which actually have made me quite emotional- thinking I n...

  As I sit in my favourite coffee in Cardiff, enjoying a flat white (what would the Spanish make of that?) rather than the café con leche, which I have become used to during the last month, I take a moment to think about the things I am missing most about Leon. Above all the Colegio Divina Pastora, the staff and its pupils, who with their oversized rucksacks, reminded me of baby turtles navigating their way through a sea of corridors (I never did manage to find my way to every class without help!). The school welcomed me like a long-lost relative and I will always be grateful for everyone’s warmth, support and humour. Certainly I miss the Leonites, that other surrogate family whose camaraderie, friendship and love of life enhanced the experience one hundredfold. Despite our different ages, interests and life experiences, I loved getting to know everyone in the group and genuinely miss every single one of them. Above all I miss the city, with its network of busy narrow alleyways...

  We are now into the second half of our placement and I am conscious of how quickly the remaining time will pass. With Caro’s words, echoing in my head, I wanted to ensure to enjoy every minute. Whether it was singing Karaoke in a local bar with “the Leonites” until 4am on Saturday morning, joining the school choir under the direction of Carlos the Colombian countertenor or sampling local delicacies such as morcilla (unappetisingly translated as cow’s viscera), I have tried to immerse myself in the school community and Leonese culture. The rehearsals with the school choir were an uplifting end to the school day. They are held in a former side chapel within the school with excellent acoustics, enhancing the exquisite voices of Carlos and his small band of enthusiastic choristers. Together with other schools in the region they are planning a concert of world music in June, so rehearsals typically involved practising a range of pieces spanning the globe, from Japan to South Afri...
