Spanish

Omg, starting to get really worried about Spanish. Started doing past tense. So I really need to learn conjegations off by heart, including the present tense! Last time I wa sin Spaniosh I got a grammer book so I would like to do at least 4 exercises this week and know spend 30 minutes per night to get the conjegations into my head!

History

We did our first exam in History on Friday. The night before I spent just less than 3 hours studying and I felt really confident on the day of the exam. I think I have passed, so now I am just lookin forward to the next topics. Which is all about Europe and we are going way back to the Greeks and the Romans. Interesting stuff :)

Litreture

More poetry. I need to watch a video on youtube for my homework. Happy days.

Study Skills

Last week we had a last minute talk to do in the class. I was actually quite proud of myself. I was a bit nervous but I fell that I coped well with it. I have seen a huge difference in my level of confidence since starting the course. I felt more nervous doing the investagating europe talk, but I feel I will be better in futre presentaions. It was really benificial watching other people doing their talks as I could see there strengths and weaknesses and I made mental notes for myself. As to what to do and not to do.

English

This week I have to finish my "Age Of Genius" assessment. I will spend 2 hours doing this on Wednesday. Also the last time we were in English we watched Dragons Den. Result. And then we picked an object that we "invented" mines was a mop. We had to go into the front of the class and sell it. It was alot of fun. Again, I felt apprehensive about going first but I did feel confident doing it. And I came second after the fantastic Andy Pandy.
