Belgian Exchange 2011

13 December 2011

The first leg of the Belgian exchange took place in November as we hosted eight students and two staff here at Wyke. They arrived exhausted after a disturbed night on the ferry but were allowed little respite as our students had planned plenty of activities for them in the evenings! Impressed by our college buildings, the students particularly enjoyed the canteen area and were treated to a meal on their first day in college.

They also took part in French lessons, where they paired up with our students and produced bi-lingual work on the environment and a critical review of a film. During their visit they also went to York and followed a paintings treasure hunt around Beverley.

Germany Exchange 2011

05 July 2011

The 13 Barntrup students who hosted Wyke College students in April, came as guests to enjoy a sunny week in Hull at the end of June. Together with their partners they enjoyed the scenic delights of Beverley, York and Whitby as well as Hull and the Humber Bridge. As well as sightseeing they enjoyed lunch in a church and three different evening barbecues, one with a Hawaiian theme.

They thoroughly enjoyed their stay, really appreciated sampling British family life and are all keen to come again. Some German students have already made plans to return for the 2012 Olympic Games and some Hull students are planning to return to Germany during the summer holidays.
