Our Grade 4 explorers stepped back in time this week at the Convento dos Capuchos, hidden in the heart of the Sintra hills 🌿
Known as the Convent of Cork, this 16th century friary is famous for its tiny cork lined cells, narrow doorways and mossy stone paths. Students discovered how the Franciscan friars lived in simplicity and harmony with nature, and asked brilliant questions along the way.
Learning comes alive when our classroom is a UNESCO World Heritage landscape right on our doorstep.
