Our plans for the weekend

Hello, everyone and welcome back to our blog.

Holidays are over, but we still have weekends to rest, relax and do what we like. What are you going to do at the weekend? Are you going to stay at home or visit someone? Are you going to study (English) and write homework or just relax, watch TV, play computer games and do what you like?

I'm probably going to stay at home (the weather forecast is bad), read and rest or perhaps visit some friends. What about you? What are you going to do at the weekend?

It's time to say goodbye ...

The end of school year for the 9-graders is nearing fast and with it the end of your primary school education. You are ready to go out in the world and expand your horizon. As this is our farewell post, write a few lines about some good, funny or interesting things that have happened to you over these years at our school and that you'll always remember.

So believe in yourself, in your strengths and talents and don't forget to dream on .... PS You are always welcome to write your comments in my blog.
