La entrega las notas

Yesterday we went to the Auditorium to receive our final reports for this year’s Spanish class.

Whenever the town do anything like this, they make a great effort to ensure that it a special occasion for both the students and teachers. Yesterday was no exception.

After the usual introductions, we had a slide show of pictures, shot throughout the year from the various events and visits that we have taken part in. Following that, the Councillor for Education spoke and congratulated us on our hard work. She was followed by the Mayor who gave us encouragement to continue with our work.

We then had the presentation of certificates followed by a buffet of food and drink.

A splendid occasion that we will remember for a good while. You can see pictures of the event by clicking here.

When we started this year with a new teacher, we were unsure how well we might take to him. After all, we had a special bond with Ana who had taught us for three years and in some cases longer.

We needn’t have worried, Eduardo has worked very hard to provide us with an engaging programme of study. We have learnt a great deal from him; not only in terms of the language but also about the culture, history and geography of Bigastro and Spain.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Eduardo for all that he has done for us We would like to wish him a restful and pleasant summer and to say we look forward to seeing him again in Autumn.

PS Actually we will see him again tonight at the end of year dinner!
