The first day started off badly! Woke up especially early to get a shower, only to find that there was no hot water, icy cold showers aren’t fun. However arriving at San Carlo School was a culture shock. The teaching methods are so different! However San Carlo is amazing! There must be over 5 floors, a swimming pool, and gym. We got back to the hostel to find that the hot water was now working… this gave us a boost!

The second day at San Carlo was more structured. We arrived to be told that we would be leading a whole lesson to 13yr olds. This was very daunting considering we had observed a teacher the previous day struggling to keep control. However it all went well, Olivia and I lead a warm up and Eddie and Liam lead another. I thought this was a good idea as we were able to then swap the groups and give the students two different styles of warm up. We then went into lead a game of handball I thought that this was a success as the children looked to really enjoy themselves. The second day of Italian lessons went better. We got back to the hostel, had a power nap. Then we went out for some food. Spent most of the night sat in the common room just talking to other people in the hostel.
