We'll start at 9.30 am, don't be late. We'll start with PET exam (9.30-12.00 am); and after that the KET exam will take place (12.00-14.30 pm).

You can bring a sandwich or another food that helps you to have and recover your energy, it'll be a looooong morning. But all of you will be great!!

What you have to bring to take these tests:

- PENCIL

Cambridge SPEAKING TEST

Hello everyone!

Marga told us that could be a good idea if you bring your DNI the day before the speaking test, to be sure you do not forget it. That is next Tuesday 10th April. And I agree with her, I'll collect them that day.

I've been talking to Adam and Hendrik and both think that you are more than prepared, so calm down, it's just to show someone else what you already know.

I've given you some photocopies to practice during the weekend. Here you have more materials that can be useful too.

- PET
- KET tips
- KET practice

More things. Remember that the speaking test will take place at 12.30-14.00. So everyone who is taking the exam will have lunch at school. You can bring your food or ask for a ticket in secretary.

As the test will be late, BRING SOMETHING TO EAT AT BREAK TIME, you are allowed to bring a sandwidch or something like that because you will have lunch later than usually and you need to feel good and strong for the test.


Enjoy your weekend!!!

MERCURY EXPEDITION GONE WRONG
Astronaut is abandoned on the cruel planet of Mercury! Will he survive the scorching heat and freezing nights?

Lara Esterhuizen reporting

As the S25Q orbits close to Mercury, Astronaut Max left the spaceship for his first spacewalk to have closer view of Mercury. He described that his view of Mercury was great!

It was -360 o F on Mercury even though he was close to the Sun. He though it was a good idea to go at night, but it was really cold. He phoned to Earth and said he was going to run some test in that moment and he would report soon. His boss answered him he was doing a good job, he should run some tests before sun went up.

At daybreak it was 800 o F in the S25Q. Max called the S25Q to ungently pick him up because he couldn’t stand that heat.

But the answer he received was that the S25Q needed repairs since the last visit to Mercury and was not capable of rescuing him. They were working quickly to fix everything and go to pick him up. Max’s informed them that his oxygen was running low, he was using his last oxygen and it was almost empty. We wouldn’t survive another day if S25Q didn’t return soon.

He didn’t receive good news; the sun had damaged the S25Q severely. But they would figure out a solution. But Max just could think he would be dead, he just had to adjust his oxygen so it would last longer.

When everybody though that all helps had run out and Max was saying goodbye to the Universe he blacked out.

Suddenly, Max woke up in a hospital and asked a doctor about where he was and if that place was the heaven. He even asked her if he was dead. The nice doctor greeted him and asked him about how he felt. Then she explained him that the had been rescued by the F30B. Max had to stay in the hospital from severe burns, dehydration and lack of oxygen, but doctor said Max would made a good recovery.

NOTEBOOKS!!

Hello!!

On Monday I'll collect all your English notebooks to assess them. Check you have all the writings and other activites and CORRECT all your mistakes!!
