My first Year at the Secondary School

In this post some students are going to share some of their experiences in their first year at the Secondary School. I hope you enjoy them, here they go!

The first year secondary has been tough for us. Here it has been so much different than in the primary one. Here I have had to study more than in the primary school because the level is higher. Some of the subjects have been very difficult… Math is an example of one of the most difficult subjects. In the first term I had a difficult job, but I studied a lot because of the fear to fail. The second term I were very distracted but I only fail math … but finally I didn't I fail any subject!! So I'm going to have nice vacations in summer. Here in the secondary school I have made new friends, I have known a lot of people from villages and from the city. I like this class because it's where my classmates from the last year are. Have a nice summer!!

This year we started the high school and we did new friends like our friends of the basketball team.

We have got along just with some teachers but that’s normal we guess. We have made a lot of tests. We didn't do too many trips although at the end we've been in two very nice ones, one to Gredos and other to Warner Bros Park inn Madrid.

We like better the secondary school than the primary one mainly becouse in the primary school we didn’t have time to relax.

The first year in the secondary school has been too hard becouse in 6th grade you are the oldest at the school and then when you come here and you are the youngest. This year we have had a lot of tests, homework and we have had to study at least 1hour and 30 minutes every day.

Some teachers have been very good with us and some others not too much. The tests were more difficult and we have had some trips like two we've had at the end, one to Gredos, and another to an amusement park in Madrid.

Have a very nice summer to everybody!!

During the first year at the secondary school I have learnt a lot o things. The change from primary school to secondary has been very difficult, different subjects, new friends, new challenges.... I like better the secondary school than the primary one because the teachers are different, we study different subjects like technology, but I got better marks at the primary school because it was easier there. In science we have learnt things about plant, animals... In technology we have learnt about structures and how to make a project with paper and cardboard. In math we have learnt the Pythagoras law In language we have learnt things about reading. In physical education we have done a lot of things like going to the swimming pool, going on a bike fieldtrip, doing aerobics at the gym.
For the ending of the school year we are going to Warner Bross Park in Madrid, we go all the grades together. On June 25th it give us the grade reports!!.

My first year at the secondary school has been very moving. It has had good things and bad ones. The good ones have been that I didn’t fail any exam and that I spent a lot of happy times with my friends. The bad ones have been that we where punished a lot of times for acting up. I made a lot of new friends of 1st, 2nd, 3rd… I think that in summer we are going to call each other to go to swimming pool or to other places. The teachers of the high school: I can talk a lot of this. Good in general all the teachers, excepting some ones. All the teachers want to help us but sometimes they do the opposite and they retard the things we did. Others are very amusing and you pass very funny classes with they.

Our first year at the secondary school was very exciting and cool. First thing we thought it was going to be easy, but it was not like that. The teachers, the other classmates, the rooms… then we started to be used to the high school. In the playground, we made new friends, we fell in love … We think that the secondary school is another school but for older people.
