School Year 2012-2013

Welcome to a new school year at IES Carlos Haya. This is a blog to learn English with fun. I hope you enjoy learning languages as I do.

Time to say goodbye

As you already know, next year I won't be at IES Heliche, I will be teaching at IES Carlos Haya in Seville. It's been a real pleasure to teach you English, I had a great time with you, although I sometimes got angry with you when you didn't speak English as you should. I've learnt a lot from you and I'd like to thank you for everything.

Have a wonderful summer holidays, good luck everybody and keep learning!

Some pictures from the last day of school, June 22, 2012.

Heliche Times 2012

Our school newspaper was supposed to be in English, French and Spanish, but after having waited for so long for articles in these languages, I've decided to publish it only in English with the news  some of you sent me. Thank you for all your participation.

This is the link for the newspaper:
