Year 11s IGCSE Past Papers

Just a quick message for year 11s Geography. I am posting a link here about CIE (Cambridge International Examinations web page) so you can download some past papers and practice at home during the Christmas holidays. I recomend you to download Papers 12 / 22 / 42 (the papers with a 2 at the end are the ones we do in international schools abroad in Europe)

ESO Projects (complimentary hours of English)

Dear ESO students,

You have been working nicely in many different projects during the first term. I just hope you improve your skills for the following term and you follow my given advice and feedback.
Here you have the pictures of the last project (four groups). I wish you a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2013.

Updated information about the 2nd TERM

Information about the second term is ready on the web page. Have a look on your "year tag" and you will get the information in advance about test, books, projects, etc

Time to think about others...

We are about to finish this first term, we have been working very hard during almost four months and we are all very excited with the well deserved Christmas holidays.
Many of you are involved in the Christmas concert and you are doing a great job with a commun aim to  collect money for Save the Children. It means a lot, because you are making a big effort to get something extra for people that really need it. As you are working on helping others I think it could be a good opportunity to have a look to these webpages:  

http://nosinjuguetes.es 
http://www.facebook.com/nosinjuguetes

I am posting in spanish the aims of this group of people and maybe you can help them too. Many families and children like you will be very happy if you can help them out with something.

Have a nice Christmas time.

Mr Legaz

This is the information of the group on facebook where you can give a hand 
(Remember: ask your parents first)

Hola, amigos. Este grupo está creado para facilitar el envío de juguetes en estas Navidades a niños de familias que estén atravesando problemas económicos. El grupo permanecerá operativo hasta el 3 de enero de 2013.
En la web NoSinJuguetes.es metéis vuestros datos en un simple cuestionario para donar o recibir juguetes. También podéis enviar un mail a NiUnNinoSinJuguetes@gmail.com o usar este telé

fono: 638919894, pero es mucho más eficaz utilizar la web.

Funciona de este modo: quienes necesitéis juguetes tenéis que rellenar un simple cuestionario en la web NoSinJuguetes.es, o mandar un mail o llamar por teléfono y dar vuestros datos, es decir el nombre y apellido del padre o madre, una dirección exacta de donde vivís (no olvidéis el código postal), un teléfono de contacto y qué niños tenéis y sus edades.

Y quienes podáis dar juguetes usados (en buen estado y limpios) o enviar una tarjeta regalo de una juguetería, también tenéis que apuntaros en el cuestionario habilitado para ello en la web NoSinJuguetes.es, por mail o por teléfono. Necesitaremos saber sólo vuestro nombre, un móvil o mail, desde donde contactáis, si estaríais dispuestos a enviarlos fuera de vuestra localidad y qué tipo de juguete tenéis (si los juguetes son claramente de niño o niña y el rango de edad idóneo).

Os iremos emparejando; es decir, al donante se le darán los datos de la persona a la que puede donar (la más cercana y más adecuada para los juguetes que tiene). Eso sí: el donante deberá encargarse de enviar los juguetes. Bien acercándolo personalmente o enviándolo de alguna forma. Hemos llegado a un acuerdo con una empresa de transporte urgente, Halcurier, que lo hará con mucho gusto por apenas 3€.

Muchas gracias a todos.
