Summer letter 2019

Estimados padres y alumnos de “Geography” en year 7A, 7B, 7C, 8A, 8B, 8C, 9A, 9B, 10, y 11 :

Como cada año cuando llegan estas fechas, me gusta comunicarme con vosotros para agradecer vuestro apoyo y trabajo desde casa. Este ha sido otro año intenso, y no sólo en lo académico. Agradezco vuestro reconocimiento y apoyo durante todos estos meses.

Espero disfrutéis de un buen verano y merecido descanso. Como cada año, recomiendo se siga en contacto con actividades relacionadas con la lectura y repaso de conceptos aprendidos durante el año. Algunos estudiantes de “year 7, 8 y 9” han recibido en estos dias un “summer-pack”. En los comentarios de las notas he puesto quien debe hacer el trabajo de verano. Son actividades de repaso para aquellos que han suspendido o han aprobado pero creo que necesitan reforzar la asignatura de cara al curso que viene. No olvidéis traerlo hecho a la vuelta de vacaciones y entregarlo en la primera semana como “year 8, 9 ó 10”.

Aquí tenéis un enlace con las instrucciones por si han perdido la documentación que he entregado o voy a entregar aún a alguno de los alumnos.

Para mis estudiantes de year 10 espero reviséis algo durante estos meses y para los de year 11, espero tengáis buenos resultados en los IGCSE y disfrutéis de un gran verano.

También espero que durante esta pausa veraniega, descansemos y el sol nos recargue a todos de energía para así empezar el nuevo curso con fuerza y energía renovada.

Un abrazo y gracias una vez más.

Félix Legaz

Dear parents and students of "Geography" in year 7A, 7B, 7C, 8A, 8B, 8C, 9A, 9B, 10 and 11,

Let me take the opportunity to communicate with you to thank you for the support and help provided from home. It has been another long hard year in many ways, not just academically. I really appreciate your support and understanding during all these months.

I encourage you to work with your child over the summer with just the right mix of fun in the sun, family time, new experiences and friends and studying to reinforce the skills learned this year- reading every day, writing, discussion and review of concepts. Some students in "year 7, 8 and 9" have received a "summer-pack" already (or they will do in the following days). There is a reminder on the reports anyway. The "summer work" are just activities for those who have failed or they are at the edge and/or I think they need to strengthen their knowledge in my subject for next year. Please, do not forget to bring it done in September and hand it in the first week you are back to school again, as year 8, 9 or 10. 

There is a link here, just in case the students have lost the hand out with all the information.

https://mrlegaz.blogspot.com/2019/06/summer-work-2019-geography-mrlegaz.html

For my year 10 do not forget to revise a little bit and for my year 11s students, I just hope you have a great summer and nice IGCSE results as well.

I also hope that this summer break will bring us lots of sun and rest, so we will be back to work with renewed strength and energy.

Regards and thank you very much one more time.

Félix Legaz
