Blanca de Castilla Newsletter December 2015
Hello and Welcome! Dear Parents, Welcome to our first newsletter for Blanca de Castilla this academic year. My name is Elena and I am the coordinator for the British Council classes here. This our sixth year in Blanca and we would like to welcome you back, and introduce ourselves to those who are new this year. Our teachers have been working hard to get to know their students and they have already produced some fantastic work. Our Reading Challenge is up and running and we encourage our students to keep up their reading. Our older groups have also started using class set readers in their lessons. We hope your children have enjoyed the first term with us and we look forward to welcoming them back next term. If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesistate to contact me. My details are below. Parents' day will be on Tuesday 22 December and it will take place during your child's normal class time in Blanca de Castilla (12.50-13.40 / 13.50-14.40). There will be a list of rooms and someone at the school to assist you. Best wishes, Elena
