END OF YEAR SELF-ASSESMENT

1. WHAT CAN YOU DO NOW?

Now I can think in English and understand better when someone speaks it. This year I improve so much in English. Thanks Cristina and Abby.💕

2.YOUR OPINION ABOUT YOUR BLOG-PORTFOLIO 

I think my blog is good, and it helped me to revise and organise units of this year. I learnt a lot with it.

3. YOUR SKILLS: READING, WRITING, LISTENING, SPEAKING, PROJECTS...                                         

In this year I have improved speaking, listening and reading so much, even in coronavirus times, with the meetings with Abby and Cristina.

SCHOOL IN CORONAVIRUS TIMES

📌 On March 12, a new phase began for all of us. A virus called COVID-19🦠 arrived in Spain and the classes were cancelled. I never thought I could learn so many things at home and with my computer💻. This has been going on for three months. Little by little we adapted to this new normality. I've missed my classmates, teachers, and breaks 👩‍🏫. I hope we go back to school next year, although I'll miss Cristina and Abby.💖

BUSKAID

Buskaid runs a Music School in Soweto, teaching violin, viola, cello and double bass to more than eighty young musicians aged between 4 and 25. Funds for the School are raised through charitable trusts in South Africa, the USA and the UK. In addition, Buskaid has supported students from the Music School who have been successful in gaining places for tertiary study at music college in the UK.
Buskaid is a unique initiative. Its aim is to give young people from Soweto the opportunity to explore and fulfil their musical potential, through high quality tuition on the violin, viola, cello and double bass at the Buskaid Music School. This has the added benefit of improving their educational and social prospects, and transforming their whole local community.

It was founded in 1992 by British viola player Rosemary Nalden in response to an item on the BBC's Today programme highlighting the difficulties of a group of young string players in Diepkloof, Soweto.
