Our Swedish visitors were as friendly and lovely as our Swedish visitors last year. This is a really valuable link. They arrived on Thursday, settled in to the Newcastle Youth Hostel, which they thoroughly recommend. They spend the morning on the town, then came in to visit junior classes and also to make a presentation on Sweden for our sixth form students. One element of the presentation tackled the stereoptype of Swedish men as very tall and Swedish women as necessarily blonde. Unfortunately for their argument they were standing there tall and blonde in front of us. Thanks to everyone who made them welcome. Our visitors brought us a gift of a checky cat, which you will see in the display case in our front hall. The idea is that, if you make the right choices in life, you might get to meet the checky cat!
