Each summer Juan de Lanuza School becomes the setting for a fantastic summer playscheme during the first two weeks of July.

Living English is open to all Primary school children who want to become more confident in English.  The playscheme is full of fun activities carried out completely in English and led by a team of experienced native and bilingual staff.

We do drama, we paint, we read stories then tell them to the smaller children in an animated way.  We bake cakes for that day’s dessert.  We sometimes take the children out on trips.  We teach them typical English games and sports and many, many more things.

As it is holiday time and probably quite hot, we go for a refreshing splash in a nearby pool where we will continue learning and playing as we cool down in the water.

And for the grand finale, a sleepover in the school on the last night!  In the afternoon we will carry on learning through play.  Pizza for dinner and for the braver children, a night time walk around the school with torches.  At last, everyone to sleep in sleeping bags, to dream the night away …  In the morning hot chocolate and cake before our farewell activities.

Happy English offers young children a space in which they can plan and learn at the same time in a wholly English atmosphere.

The children themselves will be the protagonists in a relaxed, fun atmosphere of caring in which the native teachers of Juan de Lanuza will guide them in a wide range of fun activities:  cooking, baking, drama, painting, science, stories and much, much more.

There will also be time and space for free play and for a refreshing splash in the paddling pools.

For the more adventurous, the last afternoon of Happy, the activities continue.  In the evening we will all have dinner together and then get ready to sleep here at school in sleeping bags.

Thanks to all these activities, your children will be able to improve both what they understand and how they express themselves in English in a context which is stimulating for them.
