EAL WEEK 11 (Reflection on Week 10)





Last week was a strange week at school. Plans were made and changed due to the weather. Both Sport's Days were postponed until next week.(fingers crossed!)
Thursday broke up the week again and this time there were several absences from school on the Friday. The weather was grey and chilly for the time of year. I guess we are really spoilt living in Portugal and we don't like it when the weather plays tricks on us! We have only three weeks left at school now and it will be busy during those three weeks.
