Thursday 27 April 2023

To coincide with Culture Week, the Spanish Department organised Q’s very own Feria de Abril for Years 7 and 8 on Wednesday 26 April.
La Feria de Abril is a weeklong fair that takes place in Seville every spring. It is one of the most important events in the calendar and celebrates many Andalusian traditions.
Equipped with their flores de flamenca (flamenco flowers), pupils learnt about the history of the fair, danced sevillanas and enjoyed some traditional Spanish food. Two of our international pupils from Spain (Paula A A and Mònica L P) came to help and led the girls in a traditional Spanish toast. Here are some photos of Years 7 and 8 enjoying the festivities.
