LONDOOON!!

The 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th we went to London with all the class and two teachers. We went there to practice english, to visit the city and to live a new experience. I was very happy and all the days we did very interesting acitvities. The places that I liked more were the Camden town, the places were they filmed Harry Potter and the squirrels of Saint James and Hyde park. It was a really nice travel. I'll never forget it!

SCHOOLS IN MY COUNTRY

Hello!!

Here you can read the article of this week. I hope you like it!

SCHOOLS IN MY COUNTRY

Does the number 231,808 mean something to you? It’s the number of students that go to primary or secondary school in Catalonia.

Students in Catalonia attend primary school from the age of 3 to 11 (but it’s not compulsory before 6) and then we start secondary school. After thirteen years going to school we have to choose if we want to continue studying two more years and then go to the university or if we want to go on a vocational training course.

I am 14 years old and I’m in my third secondary school year. I go to a state school and I do six hours a day with the exception of Saturdays and Sundays. I’m studying nine different subjects: English, Spanish, Catalan, Projects, P.E., Music, Social Studies and -Tutorial- as compulsory subjects. Then we have two hours per week of optional subjects: German, French or quarterly activities. My favourite subject is English of course. In my school you can also do some extra-curricular activities like Sport, Music, ICT and rehearsals.

In my opinion, girls and boys in my country are lucky because everybody can go to school and learn almost all things you will need for the future.
