Feel Good Friday was taken a step further when the Girls'
Division catering put on a Spanish event. Hesketh and Beech House
were not forgotten as Empanada de Pollo and Tortilla Española were
served to some 1300 pupils and staff.
Catering staff in the senior girls wore Matador hats and even
the catering coordinator dressed for the occasion creating quite a
stir (even though some thought he was a pirate!)
The build-up to the event started early in the week where a
Spanish quiz was distributed among the pupils in the senior and
junior departments with questions such as 'Do you know who Charles
V spoke Spanish to?' or 'Who translated the most popular Spanish
Bible?'. The response was enthusiastic when they had the
opportunity to win a prize. 51 junior girls got all the questions
correct with only 1 from the seniors answering all the questions
correctly, needless to say that the quiz was a little harder for
the senior girls.
The meal was finished off with a delicious "Arroz Con Leche" a
Rice pudding with a hint of Lemon and Cinnamon and "Besitos de
Coco" more commonly known as Coconut kisses.
The occasion was a great success and the catering team look
forward to Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day.
