On 10th and 17th of March the MFL Department organised a visit to a local Italian restaurant with Y8 and Y9 Italian students. We left the school at lunch time with the boys heading to Melucci’s, a typical Italian restaurant in Bexley. In the small and cosy “ambience”, surrounded by “panettoni” hanging from the ceiling and tomatoes tins and pasta on the shelves. After having ordered their food and drinks in Italian, the students ate the delicious authentic food whilst listening to typical Italian music. They also had a good chat with the Italian staff who were impressed by their level of Italian. Their behaviour was impeccable and they represented the school as true gentlemen conducting themselves impeccably walking through Bexley village and in the restaurant. Signora Maria, the restaurant owner, could not stop praising them. All students really loved the opportunity to experience this taste of Italy.
