Hola!
Today I am going to be talking about my trip to
Barcelona in Spain. It was my first time in Barcelona and I really enjoyed it. We did a lot of cool things including going to
Park Guell, the Gaudi Cathedral,
Camp nou,
The Blau Museum and Terrassa, along with exploring Barcelona City by foot. My sister Katie is living in Barcelona working as a Teaching Assitant for 6 months so she was our tour guide. She recommended a great app called MoveIt to help us find our way from place to place.

In case you don't know about Park Guell I can tell you it has some amazing gardens and mosaic buildings. I loved the gardens and thought they
were really beautiful.You have to pay in to see the mosaic buildings but I saw some of it from a distance and they
looked amazing. You can also go into a museum of the house
Gaudi lived in which we did and it was so cool. I would definitely
recommend it.

Sagrada Familia Cathedral
This church is probably Barcelona's most famous building and it was designed by architect, Antoni Gaudi, who worked on Sagrada Familia until his death. Building began in 1882 and it is estimated that it will be completed by 2026.

Camp Nou
Camp Nou is it is the Stadium of F.C. Barcelona. When we went to the stadium we did the full
tour which included the museum,the pitch side and you go up
into the stand. It was amazing and it is definitely a must if you are
into soccer like me. My Dad and I watched the Barcelona vs Roma game in our hotel room later that same day. Unfortunately they lost 3-0.

The Blau Museum
I did a project about architect, Herzog de Meuron before my trip so I really wanted to see Museu Blau which he designed. It is a distinctive blue box building suspended over the path. My favourite parts were these tunnels lined with angled metal through the roof when you looked up, you could see the sky. It was like a kaleidescope. It's really cool.
Terrassa
We visited this lovely town to enjoy a relaxed day walking around, drinking coffee and looking in the shops. Find out more about Terassa here:

I really enjoyed my four days in Barcelona with my Dad and sister, Katie. There is so much to see and do in this city. It was my first time to eat Tapas and I really loved the croissants dipped in chocolate in the local cafes for breakfast. I would definitely love to go back again to visit Barcelona. Lots more photos going up on my Instagram now.
I'm back to normal homeschooling again and I'll be writing more blogs about the work and activities that I'm doing soon.
I did a Fact or Opinion worksheet followed by watching a MediaWise lesson video. I learned about different types of journalism and sources and how to fact check an article.
