Hi !

Hi ! We are part of the English team. We are Emma and Megan. We are both in Year 7 and also we're new to the school. Everyday we have to be in school by 8.20 and lessons start at 8.25. We are in a new type of group called Next Generation - it's a class where we do nearly all our subjects with the same teacher for 3 days a week. We do Maths, English, Spanish, Science, Literacy, History Geography and RE. We also do Synergy which is Art Music and Drama and Wellbeing which is PE and PSE. We do Innovate which is Art and Technology.

Greetings from the English team

We are the English team - we are part of the VMG France in our Academy (of which more in future blogs). We are in different years in the Academy and we work together every day for 20 minutes although we have to go to assembly every Wednesday.

Our names are Georgina and Kayleigh in Year 11, Charlotte, Charlotte and Jenny in Year 10, Finlay in Year 9, and Emma, Megan and Ben in Year 7. More of us will be joining as we get our consent forms in.

Greetings from the French team !

Hello ! Bonjour !

We are the French team for the school year 2012-2013 !

There are thirteen of us in our English class. We are in Year 10 at Collège Antoine Coysevox near Montmartre in the north of Paris. We are from France (Paris, Corsica, Brittany), but our families are also from England, the Ivory Coast, Congo, Guinea, Mexico, Morrocco, Algeria, Sri Lanka and Serbia. We are five girls called Victoria, Oumou, Jeanne, Emilia and Anna and eight boys called Vincent, Aniss, Joachim, Faysal, Georges, Thanushan, William and Charles. Our English teacher is Mrs Serdar and we are in our fourth year of English.
We have English on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday so three times a week. We also study Spanish, as a second language and seven of us take latin. English and Spanish are compulsory but latin is optional. In Year 7, students must choose between English or German and in Year 9 we must choose a second language (Spanish, German or English). There are twenty-eight pupils in our class but fifteen students study German as a first language and English as a second language with another teacher.

Our school is not very big. It has about five hundred students. It has two buildings, two playgrounds, a canteen and a gymnasium. Seven of us have lunch at the canteen (we don't find the food very good) and the others eat at home. We have an hour and a half for lunch.

A view from one of the buildings onto the other building and one of the playgrounds :

Our English classroom is on the second floor.

We start at half past eight every day except on Monday and the students who study latin finish at five pm every day except on Wednesdays.

Here is our timetable :

Bye for now ! Write soon !

Welcome to and From England

Hi everyone - we are the English part of the DEF blog. We are Outwood Academy Adwick and we are situated in a village north of the town of Doncaster in the north of England. Our Academy has more than 1200 students aged between 11 and 19 years old. We have really a smart uniform and our tutor groups are organised into what we call VMGs (Vertical Mentor Groups) - what this means is that in every tutor group there are students from every year group in the Academy so that each VMG feels a bit like a family. Each VMG is named after a different country and then we are organised into continents. We think that international links are very important and we have an international mascot - a teddy called Ofted who accompanies every international visit we make. We'll put some pictures of Ofted on the blog when we can. We are really looking forward to working with our partners in France and Denmark - so welcome and good wishes!!
