Welcome...back! 2020-2021

Dear parents and students,

As I do every September, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone back for the start of the 2020 – 2021 school year. Although I’m sure everyone hates to see their summer vacation come to an end, there is always a certain air of excitement about the start of a new school year. Before we have our first week together, here you have some information about our academic year (all the school terms). Hope you find it useful, it is just a reminder of all the information I will be explaining to you the first week of term. When you visit my webpage, do not forget to click on upper tags to know more. Most of you are more or less familiar with timetables, rooms, books, and teachers anyway.

It is going to be a challenging year for us all (students, parents, and teachers), with many different issues to deal with academically or not, in and out the school. As you know already, I am going to be very busy between different sites, - Montessori School Los Fresnos-Mataespesa and La Florida, so please be patient and I will try my best as usual. And 
for that reason we all must make an extra effort in our own responsibilities, being supportive of each other under these special circustances we are all going through.

- Students, I expect you to work hard, study a lot, following new school rules (Covid 19).

- Parents, I know and appreciate your support and understanding of the hard work of teachers and special conditions we are going through at work. So, I give you all my biggest thank you in advance.
- Teachers (myself) As a teacher I understand the effort all of you (parents) are making to bring your kids here and I will do my job as professional as ever to get outstanding and best academic results with every single student I am responsible in every subject, group and lessons I teach and specially even more now.

Ok, enough is enough... time to say bye for now.


I just wish you the best of luck to you all this academic year.


Mr. Legaz

Summer letter 2020

Estimados padres y alumnos de Montessori School Los Fresnos, Mataespesa de “Geography” en year 7A, 7B, 8A, 8B, 9A, 9B, 11 y La Florida “Geography” 7, 8A, 8B and “History” 7 :

Como cada año cuando llegan estas fechas, me gusta comunicarme con vosotros para agradecer vuestro apoyo y trabajo desde casa. Especialmente este ha sido un curso intenso, y no sólo en lo académico, no hace falta que os lo comente pues aún estamos adaptarnos a los cambios que hemos sufrido en los últimos cuatro meses. Si normalmente os agradezco vuestro reconocimiento y apoyo desde casa durante el año académico, en esta ocasión aún con más razón ya que vuestra ayuda ha sido insuperable e imprescindible.

Espero disfrutéis de un buen verano y más que merecido descanso. Como cada año, aunque hemos estado todos entregados al 100%, recomiendo que mis estudiantes de year 7, 8 y 9, sigan en contacto con actividades relacionadas con la lectura y repaso de conceptos aprendidos durante el año, ya sea de forma lúdica como puede ser el visionado de videos, documentales, o con la lectura de libros o revistas que puedan tener relación con lo estudiado y trabajado.
Para mis estudiantes 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 para enfrentar esta "nueva realidad".

Un abrazo y gracias una vez más.

Félix Legaz

Dear parents and students of Montessori School Los Fresnos, Mataespesa “Geography” year 7A, 7B, 8A, 8B, 9A, 9B, 11 and La Florida “Geography” 7, 8A, 8B and “History” 7,

Let me take this opportunity to communicate with you to thank you for the support and help provided from home. I do not need to say how challenging and stressful this academic year has been. I really appreciate your support and understanding during all these months more than ever.

I encourage to work with your child (year 7, 8 or 9) 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, watching a documentary, writing, discussion, and review of concepts.
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.

Best regards and thank you very much one more time.

Félix Legaz
