How did we get to Santander?
First, we flew to Bilbao, a city in northern Spain
![Page 4: Comenius visit to spain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062406/559101071a28ab4d0c8b4644/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
We were met by teachers from our Spanish partner school, who drove us
from Bilbao to Santander
![Page 5: Comenius visit to spain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062406/559101071a28ab4d0c8b4644/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Our partner school in Spain is called Colegio San Juan Bautista – La Salle
![Page 6: Comenius visit to spain](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062406/559101071a28ab4d0c8b4644/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
This is John Baptist de la Salle. He set up the first La Salle Institute in France in the 17th
Century.

There are now La Salle schools in 85 countries throughout the world.
• John Baptist de la Salle set up his first school to help the children of the poor to learn simple reading, writing and arithmetic. They were also taught Christianity.
• During his lifetime and beyond, his model of schools for the poor spread from France to many other countries.
• Their teachers were, and still are, called ‘brothers’, even though women have played a major part for many years.

The school is in a small village about 1 hour’s train ride from Santander
Here we are on the morning of day one, arriving at Los Corrales de Buelna to visit the school for
the first time.

What a surprise! We didn’t expect to see lots of little cats in the school grounds!

During our three days together, we talked about…

Each day we walked through the village to a small restaurant for lunch
Here’s what we saw on the way…

Here are some of the older Primary children. Have you noticed that they don’t
wear school uniform?

Everywhere there are signs in three languages; Spanish, English and French

We thought we could copy this idea and have signs in English, Spanish, Turkish and Latvian in all of our
‘Cultural Jigsaw’ schools.

local musician sang and played lots of musical
instruments
