SELWYN TIMES Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Wednesday <strong>April</strong> <strong>17</strong> <strong>2019</strong> 13 Rolleston College learning leader for languages Annie Mansfield writes about a visit from Spanish students HOLA! BIENVENIDOS! At Rolleston College we have been enjoying the company of visitors from Spain over the last couple of weeks. Last year we established a sister school relationship with the IES Luis de Góngora, which is in Córdoba in the Andalucia region in the south of Spain. Our sister school is very different to ours, it was built in 1577 and is located in the central plaza of Córdoba, which is the only city in the world to have four World Heritage sites. The school building is beautiful and historic and has its own chapel. During 2018, learners in our year 10 Spanish class began a friendship with Spanish students. They enjoyed sharing emails, study projects and communicating online via social media. On <strong>April</strong> 1, we welcomed our first group of Spanish visitors to school, with a traditional mihi whakatau. The students were excited to meet each other in person for the first time. The group has enjoyed visits to the gondola, the museum, the central city, and a day in Wellington. We enjoyed a SCHOOLS VISITING: Students from Córdoba, Spain, have been at Rolleston College over the past two weeks. Spanish students visit Rolleston College day in Akaroa, with both the Spanish and New Zealand students working together in double kayaks and giant stand-up paddleboards. It was fun to hear the group bonding over the Spanish songs they all knew and as teachers we enjoyed hearing La Macarena and La Bamba, followed by various Queen hits, belted out from the back of the bus. The Spanish students have also attended some lessons at school, and as their English is excellent, they were able to get involved with the learning. It was especially rewarding to see our learners in the years 9, 10 and 11 Spanish classes having the opportunity to practice their Spanish with our guests. They were able to ask a lot of questions to find out about life in Spain and what school is like there. Said year 10 student Tate Hawker: “It was interesting having the Spanish people in our class and seeing how they reacted in a different environment to what they are used to. It was fun learning from them and learning about their hobbies and what they like to do.” Sam Maccoll, also in year 10, said “I thought it was pretty cool seeing how they pronounced the Spanish. I asked questions in Spanish, such as asking them about their family and hobbies, and they seemed to understand.” With Canterbury experiencing a hot summer after the wettest winter on record, our weather has certainly been extreme. However, brave Cantabrians, with verandas and adjustable louvres from Stratco on our side, we can take back control of our unpredictable elements. Steve Cain, Outdoor Product Specialist at Stratco, is passionate about their verandas and electronic louvre systems “they add great value to a home, families get so much more use from their outdoors, and the real estate market recognises that value as well”. Steve says adding an adjustable louvre system allows you to control exactly how much sunlight and breeze in, and protect from rain as well. Custom made to suit your requirements and powder coated to any colour, the louvre comes standard with an electronic remote control as well as a rain sensor which gives you huge flexibility on how to use the system. The verandas are Stratco’s own YOU BRING THE DREAM, WE'LL BRING THE “Nothing beats the strength, good looks and low maintenance of steel” advertorial You bring the dream, we’ll bring the How To. unique leading edge design and componentry. Steve is pleased to be able to offer a bespoke veranda at the same price as a standard product, because Stratco has the design tools that enable the veranda to be custom-designed to your size, layout, and attachment requirements. The process is simple: Steve will talk through the possibilities with you and then measure and quote, which is free with no obligation. Stratco then designs, manufactures, and installs the verandas and louvres themselves.
