3º TERM SELF-ASSESMENT

Hi guys,
This is my last self-assesment in this blog because we are finishing ESO this week, so this is supossed to be a good-bye post. But this won´t be such a sad thing, I´ll write about all the positive things I´ve learnt and developed.
I´ll first talk about this term, I´ve learnt a lot in this last months; passives, reported speech, future tenses... This last term was the sortest but in my opinion the most usefull.
Well, let´s talk from a wider point if view, The bilingual section the time invested in this project has been worth, we have learnt a lot of English and developed all our skills in  this language. We have lost some of our shyness and started to communicate in another language without being nervous or embarassed.
Finally I will say I will really miss these days when I get older so I have to thank my partners and teachers for staying with me in this four years.
Thank you.

PE class

Football PE lesson

Warm up:

First the students should go jogging around the court for more or less 5 minutes to start getting active.

Then they must do some join movility exercises that we will explain while they are still running slowly, after this they will form a circle and stretch their muscles as we will show them.

The specific warm up will be a “rondo”, the students will form groups of 6 members and one of them will be in the middle of a circle formed by his/her partners, then the students in the outside will start passing the ball to each other and the one in the middle will try to get it, when this happens he will change possitions with the partner who lost the ball. This activity will last another five minutes to start getting in touch with the balls.

Main part:

The students will make four rows two in front of the other two, and they will pass the ball to the prtners opposite them, to practice their precision and strength in passing.

Then they are going to make two rows one in each goal and we are going to give them some balls and they will start taking turns to shoot to the goal, to practice definition and strength.

After this we will make three teams and we will play matches of 5 minutes or two goals , only two teams every match, the team who wins continues in the court.

Cool down:

The students will run two laps and then they will stretch.

Self-assesment 2nd term

I have found this term so short, haven´t you? It´s been like five minutes from Christmas to March.

But in this time, I have improved quite much my English, partly in class but also because I have started watching some series in original version in English, because chapters in Spanish come very slowly and I watch them too fast and anxiously to wait for the next one ; )

I have done well in Speaking, listening and writing. But my last exam in vocab, grammar and translation has been a little weaker. Even though I think I learnt more in this aspects of the English language because you tought us about pasive voices, conditionals, regrets, complaints, etc. The books were also full of vocabulary and new expressions wich we went through in the seventh hours.

I don´t really use the grids you give to do my self-assement, but I trust it is okey. 

I hope you all have a good easter break, BFN
