On Saturday we took a coach trip of 50 students and volunteers to Scarborough. We enjoyed a picnic in the park, volleyball on the beach, a look around the town and a walk up to the castle. We looked at the boats in the harbour and paddled in the sea as well as having a dance and going on a few rides in the funfair. It was a fun day but with retrospective moments too as the sea brought back memories of people’s journeys to Europe across the mediterranean sea. They said how they enjoyed seeing the sea in a positive way now. Below are some photos from our visit and there are more available on our facebook page here.

On our trip to Grindleford we enjoyed a bit of Eritrean singing and dancing!

Thanks to the Northern Refugee Centre’s Finding Our Feet project we were able to fund a trip to the countryside for 30 students and volunteers. We took the train to Grindleford and then had an enjoyable walk to Padley Gorge. It was a fantastic day with lots of laughter, a picnic, English practice and fun. Below are some photos from the day and there are more available on our Facebook page.

The local community in Sharrow had a Mela for Eid, at U-Mix, where we do football training. Some of us went to have a look at what was going on and to practice English conversation.

We took our ESOL Entry 1 class to have a look at Sheffield by the Seaside in the City Centre. More photos are on our facebook page.

On Thursday 2nd April HRH Queen Elizabeth II visited Sheffield Cathedral and the Town Hall. A group of students and staff went down to the city centre to see her and enjoy the experience. Below are a few photos we took. There are more available on our facebook page – click here.
