SELF ASSESMENT

The activity I liked the most was the recording of the song in class, It was funny to make that.

I think I´m good at listening but I´m not so good at translation. The best thing I did was writing.

I´m not confused about anything but I need to study more.

The thing about culture that made me surprised it´s the tatoos and the culture of the tribes. I 

sometimes see the films of ``english attack``and then I do the exercises, it´s entertainig and I learn.

And the thursday´s lessons, I really like them

VALLADOLID SCHOOL TRIP

                                  SCHOOL TRIP TO VALLADOLID



On the 2nd of November we had a school trip to Valladolid to visit The Wine Museum, The Peñafiel Castle and and to enjoy a contemporanean musical concert. When we arrived the teachers allowed us to go around the main square, it was great because we stayed together. Then we went to the theatre to see the concert, I didn´t like so much but well....
Later we went to Peñafiel to see the Wine Museum and the castle to learn about the wine and see the castle inside, We went up the sairs of the castle and in a room I thought I was seeing people but they were mannequins, it was funny.
Finally we took the bus to come back home.

GEOGRAPHY: DESCRIBE A LANDSCAPE

This landscape is situated in La Palma, Canary Islands. It is a subtropical climate (temperate zone).
The summers are hot and the winters are mild because it is a island and it is surrounded by the ocean
It never rains ( in summer ) but in the months of January, February and March usually rains. Due to the influence of the Mediterranean climate, it has wet winters.
La Palma has got two  small rivers in la Caldera de Taburiente, a mountain arch with a crater shape, and they have regular flow. Forests in this zone are made up of evergreen trees such as canary island pines and dragos. Fauna: there are grajas, La Palma giant lizard, Western Canary Isands goldcrest, pinzón pamero, paeriforme. La Palma has also characteristics of Mountain landscapes because there are more than 2500 metres altitude in some areas with very low temperatures.

PICTURE

At the background you can see the typical sea of clouds over the mountains of La Palma, You can see the green vegetation and the blue sky
I have chosen this place becouse I like it and I´m half canarian.
