My School

I was very fortunate to get a position as an Auxiliar at Colegio Nuestra Señora de la Almudena right in the centre of Madrid and beside Retiro Park. Before starting I assumed I would be working in a secondary school with teenagers.

To my surprise, My classes and kids turned out to be much younger than I had expected or anticipated. Having never worked with or dealt with Children before, I was initially daunted by the idea. However, very soon I began  to realise what a bright, eager and attentive group these children make, although they can at times be quite trying of course!

My classes are divided between several groups: I work with a class of roughly 30 children in Infantiles, so about 5 years old. My next class is a first grade class of about 25 children and most of my time is spent working with 2 groups of second graders, Class A and Class B. Each with 15 or 16 students.
We work with a system that teaches Natural and Social science material through English. Thus far we have learned about topics including the Solar system, the human body, Maps, the earth, after school activities, countries and much more.
I look forward to continuing teaching and learning with all my classes and students.
