PROYECT MY SCHOOL


Hello! We are 4th E.S.O. students from the Santisima Trinidad school and we are delight to show you our school.
It’s a religious school, pupils start in first kindergarden course, at 3 years old, and finish in 4th E.S.O. The school is divided in two educational stages, the first one is in the kindergarden and primary building and the other one is in the E.S.O. building.
 
The school is a part of an old convent, the convent ‘s church belongs to the Trinitarian priests. The school has got two playgrounds, one is bigger than the other. There is a library in the E.S.O building too. We have got a new gym in the big playground, also we can have lunch in a canteen, it’s in the primary building. The school has morning classrooms, a music classroom, a laboratory and two videorooms in the primary building, also, TVs and computers are in the secondary classrooms. The primary students have got only one break, thirty minutes long and the children normally go to the playground. E.S.O. has two breaks of fifteen minutes. In each one they go to the playground too. The children can play games or sports like: football, basketball, volleyball, handball, ball count, an also tennis. 

In the library, the students of 4th E.S.O. help with the homework of younger primary students in the afternoon and they like telling stories too. 

We celebrate our founders days: Saint Juan de Mata and Saint Juan Bautista, in December and february; we always do something special: parties, group games, movies in school. 

For example, all the students did a video last year, we recorded it together while we formed a big trinitarian cross with red and blue papers.

At the end of the school year, the oldest students make a journey, we are usually away for several days and we normally go to the beach. we decide with the teacher some places in Spain that are best. 

In our school, Secundary and Primary timetables are different, The oldest students have got six classes in the morning, from half past eight to half past two, with different teachers and subjects, the classes starts at a quarter past nine to a quarter past two in primary and kindergarden timetable. 

Finally, We have enjoyed doing this English project a lot. We have known our school much better so we felt very happy and proud of studying in a Trinitarian school where learning is really funny. We would not want to let the chance to say thank you for the effort, dedication and passion of our teachers. We are very lucky because we have got teachers that love their job. 

Thank you very much.
