Spanish Fiesta

Students also completed a quiz with rounds on music, geography and general knowledge questions in Spanish and English with prizes per table. The event was organised in the Megarry Room as a formal dinner, but the night ended up with dancing, including an improvised Macarena by the Sixth Formers joined by teachers and students alike.

I am delighted to have such a wonderful group of students who value Hispanic culture and made the evening such a special event.

I really enjoyed the opportunity to try lots of different typical Spanish dishes, many of which we have learned about in class. We even won prizes for a quiz about Spanish history and gastronomy.

It was a nice dinner with my classmates and teachers, and thanks to the school catering service for organising everything. I was pleasantly surprised by the food and especially the paella which was delicious.

This was my first time at the Spanish Fiesta, and I must admit that I was amazed. All the dishes were excellent, and there were fun games in which we all participated. The music was great as well. All teachers and students were very nice to each other, and I look forward to the next Fiesta!

Since I am new to Lancing, it was my first year going to the Spanish Fiesta and I think it was a great way to spend the evening. There was a lot of popular Spanish music playing while we ate a really good selection of Spanish food, like the classic paella, and participated in a Spanish themed quiz. Since I take A level Spanish, I think this Fiesta did help me with learning new things about Spain that could help me in class. Without a doubt, this has really made me excited to go and visit Spain and its unique culture.

The Spanish Fiesta was an incredible opportunity for every student studying Spanish at any level to experience a range of this fascinating culture. The numerous traditional dishes we had, made authentically by the catering staff, were not only delicious but an excellent chance for everyone to experience what they learn about in their classes. Ms Espiga, our Head of Spanish, did an amazing job at organising the event and every thank you must go to her. With a group dance to the Macarena, an entertaining quiz and perhaps too many churros; it was an undoubtedly memorable evening that I am grateful I got to experience in my last year at Lancing.
