Summer activities

The summer activities are given with your marks. In case you have any doubt, contact me. If you feel like learning more you can listen to Radio1 at bbc.co.uk. It's music at its best!
If you go abroad remember to take some English leaflets with you, we'll use them at class!
Happy Holidays!

late inspiration

Some sort of sadness overcomes us at the end of the school year,
happiness as well,
plenty of stress and last minute efforts by students, teachers, secretaries...
one more year goes by
some memories left, all we've got,
students leave, students arrive
and still gonna miss them
and still wouldn't like to be younger
and still from all the jobs,
this one is the best
some sort of happiness overcomes us at the begining of the school year.
sadness as well.
