Look at this photo. Where can it have been taken from? From the top of an old building? From one of the most important attractions in a big city?

Last Friday 16th December, teachers and pupils gathered in Room 210 at about six o'clock of a windy evening to celebrate another successful "Jornada Gastronómica" at the EOI Béjar. It's rewarding how talented pupils are, and the enthusiasm all of them showed in the preparation of different dishes and desserts from the most relevant gastronomy of some English and French-speaking countries. We tasted cous-cous, pastries, apple and pear pies, trifle, brownies, tiramisu, lemon cream ... just to name a few. We could drink a wide variety of soft drinks and obviously we couldn't fail to include the typical English tea. We really had a good time together, chatting and listening to some Christmas songs.

Everything was right, even the raffle at the end, where all the levels taught at school were represented by the winners.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU

AND THANKS FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION!
