Studying Spanish at school?Is your son or daughter aged 11-16 years of age and studying Spanish at school? Would it be beneficial for your child to set up an email communication or skype conversation with a Spanish child of a similar age living in Madrid?
The concept is to introduce an English family to a Spanish family via email giving complete control of the situation to both sets of parents to decide how the communications between the two students should progress (eg via email, skype, etc).If you are interested and would like to ask questions or have more information please call Jackie Harrison on 0141 942 8229.The parish of St Andrew’s have agreed for this notice to go into the Bulletin, however the Parish and the Archdiocese are in no way involved in this arrangement.
