Thank you Alastair, Helen and Dawn!

This year, like last year, we had the great pleasure of having Alastair and Helen in Giove and Dawn in Lugnano. They came to school to speak English with our students for free!
I think all of us learnt a lot and we also had fun.
We had the chance of talking in English with "real people" and get to know their culture better through their words and experiences.

For this reason we wanted to thank them with little but meaningful presents.

I also want to say thank you to all the students who were really enthusiastic of these activities, to all the parents who helped us for everything we asked, to my colleagues who were supported me planning this project.
