My first impresion of... Escola Pia Sant Antoni

On Tuesday, I went to visit Escola Pia Sant Antoni, where I’m going to during my practicum III during 1 month, so it was really important to me to know the place and the people because I will be there much time and I would like to have a nice stay, learning a lot to get prepared for my future as an English teacher.

On the one hand, I consider that it is an overwhelming place because it’s a huge building with many playgrounds, where students from preschool to high school study in four groups per course. Despite the fact that so many people could be a mess, I strongly believe that it is very good organized because in each floor, we can find the classrooms of three levels. Moreover, I would like to say that these large corridors are very warm because all of them are really decorated with projects and works that pupils have done.

On the other hand, I could meet my tutor, Mar. My first impression about her is that she is a really energetic teacher because she explained me many things that she does with her students and some ideas that she wants to do in the future. Mar was really welcoming because she showed me all the school and made me an explanation about what I should know about the English subject, organization and methodology of the school. Furthermore, she offered my all her help for whatever I need as a trainee teacher.I also had the chance to speak with some other teacher and they were very friendly, too.

Finally, through Mar’s explanations and what I could see, I can say that it’s an innovative school because they are trying to use the interactive books and some units the work through projects, so I think that they want to promote the interaction and cooperative work in the way to make the children the focus of the learning process.

If everything goes like I have thought, I will have a really nice experience! I’m really anxious to begin my practices!
