This is our twelfth day in New York


Satellite Academy High School welcomed us and showed us around. We were not allowed to take any picture with the students but we attended a general meeting and could chat with some of the students in a classroom.


This is the classroom where we were talking to the American students. They explained their timetable to us and the organization of the school.







This looks nice! We wish we could have this in our school in Barcelona



We are not all in the photograph because the group in the Empire building hadn't finished the classes and we were waiting for them under a shelter because of the rain and the wind.


All the staff at GEOS school congratulated us for the excellent behaviour of the group. We are very proud of them.

Our eleventh day in New York



Today was the day of the Metropolitan Museum. We had little time to see the museum but we hurried to see as much as possible.





Then, a big smile for the group photograph of the day



The Guggenheim was so close that we went to see the building. The museum was closed but it was worth seeing it from the outside.



Here it is

Our eighth day in New York


Today we met at Madison Square Park at 10. Most of us were on time. It is a bank holiday so there are no classes. We went to Coney Island.




Here it is one of the oldest fairy wheel in the world. And also the first place where hot dogs were made.




We went to the beach and some students went for a swim. It was not too cold.


The team of girls ready for the picture




And the team of boys after a game of ball.
We all came back safe and sound
Tomorrow back to school and normal timetable






Our seventh day in New York


This is The Abyssinian Baptist Church we visited


For that, we had to get up very early and queue for a few hours





Then, we went to Central Park for lunch and socialized for a while



In the afternoon we went to Strawberry Fields to John Lennon's Memorial to sing Imagine






We all did and enjoyed a lot


Pau was in charge of the video and took care of the event

A bit of rest after the tour

Our fith day in New York

We have two good pieces of news to tell you: One is that our project Light and Darkness has been awarded with the Sello Europeo and the other one is that Marc is feeling better.







At long last here she is: The statue of Liberty





















As you can see the teachers look quite right! Surviving!





























This is Ellis Island where all the migrants had to wait to be distributed through the country. We were very impressed.
















It was so hot that we stayed in the shade on our way back in the boat.
















As usual they are all safe and sound!
