Year 7 Tapas Trip 2025

On Tuesday 18

th March, Mrs Crespi took a group of Year 7 Spanish students to a Tapas restaurant in
London. This provided them with the exciting opportunity to enhance both their linguistic skills and
cultural understanding. They could practise conversational Spanish in a real-world setting, engaging with
native speakers and ordering food; asking questions and making small talk. They had exposure to food
related vocabulary and phrases that might not be covered in the classroom, such as menu items,
ingredients and dining etiquette. Small plates of various dishes were shared among the table. It was a
great way for the students to step out of their comfort zones, trying dishes they may never have
encountered before. Students were able to engage more dynamically compared with a traditional
classroom setting. Beyond the food, the experience taught valuable lessons about sharing, trying new
things and appreciating different cultures. Outings of this type promote camaraderie among the students,
fostering a collaborative learning atmosphere which makes language learning more effective and
memorable.
