Nice excursion!!
By: Antigoni Ambatzidellis
One of the most exciting trips this year is the Nice visit for the 9th graders. Student who take French as their second language are welcome to join in order to aid there linguistic development. This year’s excursion will be identical to the ones of past years but it is now bigger than ever due to the large number of students attending. There are approximately 41 students who will take part in the excursion and therefore the amount of host families has increased.
The week in Nice is supposed to improve the students’ language skills and help them incorporate what they have learned so far in real-life situations. Corresponding with the goal of the trip, the students will have to attend daily language teaching courses every morning from 9:00 to 12:30. On the first day of the stay in Nice, students will get a first taste of the city and it’s surrounding. After the introduction at the school and the course, as a whole group they will walk from the port to the castle hill and there they’ll play football, visit a cemetery, go to the old town (has great ice-cream) and will go to the market places where they will have the chance to spend their money for the first time.
