NUEVAS FECHAS PARA LA CONVOCATORIA EXTRAORDINARIA
Debido a los últimos cambios de fase el instituto ha modificado el calendario de exámenes, el de Inglés será el lunes 22 a las 8 de la mañana, durará una hora y será online, los alumnos que necesiten hacerlo de forma presencial deberán solicitarlo previamente.
También habrá unas sesiones de apoyo del martes 16 al viernes 19, es posible que no sean con vuestra profesora, habrá que seguir todas las indicaciones de prevención del COVID y presentar un papel firmado por vuestros padres, en mi caso seguiré teletrabajando y cualquier material que necesitéis o duda que tengáis las podemos aclarar por video conferencia (hay que pedir cita con antelación).
Para más información consultad la página web del instituto, preguntad a vuestros tutores o profesores.
Please find below a list of activities that you can do along this week and the next one, remember these activities are not part of your score anymore.
I will send you an email with your final score asap. Most of you worked very hard, you thrived! others could not catch up or did not get used to remote learning for many different reasons.
For me as a teacher it was challenging as well, everything seemed to change overnight, due dates, lesson plans, government instructions....all the educational community parents, students and teachers had to get a grip on this unexpected situation. I want to say a big thank you to all the families that have been supportive. 👏👏 Taking all this into account, I tried to create a handy, friendly and easily accessible blog/platform , but I also had to provide the right educational resources for you to continue learning, some of you consider that I asked you to do too many activities, for others it was ok, another small group did not care about homework until this week... and a few of you were dealing with an extremely difficult situation at home or in your heads. Please let me know your thoughts or feedback about this last months in English below or send your point of view to my email.
Despite all this, WE MADE IT! we overcame the lockdown, COVID 19 and school! we are very lucky!
Thus, the next two weeks you can continue working on activities online and studying for your resit tests (Exámenes en convocatoria extraordinaria). Please contact me or your tutor if you have any questions.
