Barcelona 2025

Day 5 science museum and boat tour

We went to the Cosmocaixa science museum today for our last day, where both Year 10 and Year 13 proved extremely knowledgeable about all three sciences. A spot of retail therapy in the Maremagnum shopping centre and then a cruise round Barcelona port at 6pm to end our trip before we headed to the airport for a late night flight. 

Day 4 Port Aventura

 The day for the adrenaline junkies! Brilliant day today at the theme park, although escapades included Lucy getting stuck on the Stampida rollercoaster (not her fault!) which required two mechanics to come and rescue her. Two boatfuls of Grosvenor pupils and staff ended the day at the Tutuki Splash, where we were literally soaked to our skin. Back to the pool for a quick dip, then dinner and shopping before bed, in preparation for our last day.

Day 3 Grosvenor Spanish Sports Night

Tonight we held the inaugural Grosvenor Spanish Sports Night. The first event was the over and under relay race. 

This was followed by the limbo and high jump events, With some very flexible participants!

The ‘dig the deepest tool and fill it with water’ challenges were somewhat chaotic. 

In the sprint relay, the girls from 10N EDIT*and a few speedy girls from 10E* proved as lightning quick as ever, literally taking our breath away, with Daniel a worthy member of the team too. Bravo! 

In the end, it all came down to scavenger hunt. The victorious team were exceptionally quick at translating the Spanish and getting the 7 photos.
