Hi, dear bretonians. I can't believe that is is going to be my last post in this blog but, you know, all things come to an end. I'm quite confused right now, because on the one hand, I'm sure that I'm gonna miss my classmates, my teachers and this high school in general. I still can remember some of my lessons or trips in first of ESO . Time flies... But, on the other hand, I really want to meet new people at my new high school. Hope everything goes well next year...
Anyway, today I'm going to do my self-assessment.
As you can imagine, this term has been really hard because we had to take plenty of exams and to make many projects in a very short period of time. However, I'm quite happy with my results because all my effort has being paid off.
In English we've learnt many interesting things about culture such as the history of manners or the new transport that will be developed during the following years. Now, I can write a formal email with the correct linking and sequencing words. Cristina has also taught us different vocabulary about manners,the weather. reporting verb and even plenty of phrasal verbs. But my favourite part was creating the "Tomas Bretón memories video" which I have uploaded yesterday. Watching my classmates' projects was great too! There are amazing ones!
In ICT we have made a video imitating a famous portrait. Mine was "The Lady with an Ermine". This project was quite interesting because we learnt how to use an amazing app called Canvia. I have really enjoyed during this lessons.
In PE each one had to design a PE lesson on his/her own. I did it about Acrosport. I liked this project because we had to explain it in English in front of the class so we learnt some new expressions and we had a great time playing all together.
I think that my English has improved a lot during these four years and I'm quite happy with the level that I have because I can understand easily a conversation in English and I'm able to speak in this language without many difficulties.
I won't never forger these high school years, they've been great.
Have a nice summer and enjoy it!

4TH ESO SECOND TERM SELF-ASSESSMENT
This second term was quite hard because we had many exams and projects to do in a short period of time. However, I'm quite proud of myself because I managed to organise my time.
In English we've learnt plenty of things. Not only vocabulary or expressions but also about culture.
Now, I can write essays related with energies and I'm able to describe a device. We've learnt how does the brain work,or some traditional African dances. In the 4th united we've studied some phrasal verbs, adjectives and even vocabulary about aches and pains! We've also talked about healthy habits and tips to exam success. I think all of us have participated a lot in class. That's because we're only 7 people in English lessons, so all of us have the opportunity to practise a lot. This is quite helpful for us and I find it an advantage. Lessons are very enjoyable and useful.
In ICT we've learnt how to use Inkscape, a program to make logos,and its key terms and how to create a data base. We've also made a gif and an activity with 1st of ESO. This lessons were also very entertaining and dynamic. I had a great time during this term in this subject.
In PE Chuchi taught us how to play badminton, American football and even rugby! We've also made some dances. And, of course, we've learnt more things about healthy lifestyle. His classes are just amazing.
What I liked most is the Gothic literature project. Researching information was very interesting and doing it with my classmates Marta and Carlos was a pleasure.
Now I can understand easily a day to day conversation, an article or an essay. I'm also able to have a conversation with my classmates and teachers.I'm really happy with my results in every skill and I'm not confused about anything because I studied hard for my exams and I tried to do my best. However, next term I'll do it better.
I love English so I'm always listening to music in this language or watching series and movies in original version because I think watching them translated is not the same than watching them in the original language.
Next term will be the last one so I'm quite sad and, because of that, I'll try to enjoy it as much as possible. I'm sure I'm gonna miss my English lessons, my teachers and, of course, my classmates.
