self assesment

Finally, we finished all exams and we can relax a little bit. This year I have learned lots of new things. During this last term,  I had  to study a lot more because the term was shorter but we had to do all of our exams. I think that I have improved in my reading, and in my listening although I need to work on my writing, specially my handwritting, and on my behaviour, but I think that I did well. I really enjoyed the project about our time on the highschool, because I remembered lots of good and funny memories, and really enjoyed listening to the classmates tell theirs.

my 4 years in IESO Tomás Bretón

Here is the project we made about our time in the highschool.

I think I had a good first day of high school. I was lucky because I was with most of my friends in the same classroom , I also remember that I felt so small in comparison with the guys who were studying 4th eso.  I don´t remember all the things that I did back when I was in 1st of eso back I remember that I had a lot of fun specially during breaks.  A year later I was in second of eso, and we a trip were we went to Madrid, I think this was the first trip where we went out of Castilla y León and I had never seen Madrid so I enjoyed it a lot. Also I think that this was the year were I had the most fun in class because teachers weren´t as strict as in first and I was with all my friends too, so I had a good time. Then in third I was in a different classroom than all my friends but I met new people and also I made friends that I wouldn´t have met otherwise and I still was able to be with my friends during breaks so it wasn’t a big deal, and then it was fourth of eso. I think that this is the group with the best relationship that I’ve ever been with, because there are always good vibes between all the classmates, everyone knows each other and everyone can have a good time with anyone. I had the luck of going to both trips and I really enjoyed both of them. I went to Ireland with Mario, and I had a great relationship with our family. The food there was great and the only “bad” thing that I can say about the trip was the thirty minutes traveling between  Rush and Dublin, but thinking a bit about them I think that we had some of the best moments of the whole trip during those travels. I myself am a food lover and I was able to try a lot of different types of foods and flavours. Then we came back to Spain and a week later we went to Malaga. I also had a good time the food we ate in places from Malaga was great we all hung out together and we all get to know each other better so I think that both Malaga an

d Rush were the better trips I have ever gone to and I am really enjoying 4th of eso

vocabulary 3rd term

Here is a diet that suits my metabolic needs giving me the required amount of calories, fat carbohydrates and proteins. Although I eat more protein than what I need and eat less amount of carbohydrates than I need, because the difference between the ammount I consume and the amount I need is less than 100 calories of it. To be able to achieve this diet I have changed some unhealthy food for some healthy food from my everyday diet. So instead of eating an ice cream I eat a gelatin and instead of chocolate bars I eat whole grain cereals.

SELF EVALUATION

I think that I did well this term although I can improve  lots of things. Of course I would have got better grades if I had studied more, but I think that the things were I need to improve are mainly presentations and order, and also my  behaviour in class.

Physical and Human Geography

First picture

In this picture you can see an airplane. This is a man-made structure that can fly and allow us to move from a place to another. That is a characteristic of human geography called transport.  Having that in mind this is an example of Human Geography.

Second picture

In my opinion this is an example of Physical Geography. The reasons why I think this is because you can see a natural environment. You can see a volcano in the background and some flora in the bottom of the image. Between them you can see a river. And also because none of them are man-made structures.

Third picture

In the middle of this picture you can see a heiser. This is a natural phenomenon that violently expel hot gases(normally water vapor). You can also see a forest in the background and a flat surface that looks like it has been erode by the heisers. All of the things that I have mentioned are natural structures that the human hasn´t  modify. This is an example of Physical Geography.

Fourth picture

In this picture you can see a classroom. There are some students and a teacher and they are in a man-made structure. You can see through a window in the background pf this image that thee is something that looks like a playground. Due to this in my opinion is Human Geography.

Fifth picture

This picture is a bit special because in my opinion shows how men can modify a natural environment without making any structures. You can see how the grass has been cut and you can also see a some trees . So in my opinion this is a mix of both types of Geography.

Sixth picture

In  this picture you can see a city with really high skyscrapers, an airplane and some boats in a harbour. There is also some water that could be part from a sea or from an ocean. You can only see man-made structures. Due to that this is Physical Geography.

Seventh picture

In this picture you can see a plain that the human has used to make some roads over it. This roads looks like a highway so the plain must be very long. Because of this highway it is used to be able to drive cars through it it is related with a characteristic of Human Geography the transport and it is na example of that type of Geography.

Eighth picture

In the middle of this picture you can see a valley between two mountains. There is also some trees or bushes  on the background and through it. Because everything here is natural and there is not any man-made structures it is an example of Physical Geography .

Ninth picture

In this picture you can see how a dam stops the water's flow. You can see also that without the dam there should be a waterfall. This picture shows a natural environment modify but humans. In my opinion this represents both types of Geography.

Tenth picture

Here we can see a natural environment. There is not any man made structures in the middle and in the foreground but in the background there is something that looks like a village. In the foreground there are only some trees and grass. I think his is mainly an example of Physical Geography.

RAP

https://youtu.be/N3aBJjS506U

VIDEOS

Here we can see how people work hard to try to either help other people and them too or how people think and do new things to try to make other people happier.
In the first and in the third video we can see how people that can´t see color or can´t speak work to innovate thinking about new concepts or ideas, while in the other hand people are also innovating but now to make music out of nowhere with fruits or vegetables.
In my opinion this are great examples of overcoming and I think that it´s amazing what people can do no matter of their abilities and how good music is so easy to make; and I think that technology will help people but I won´t like people turning into ciborgs at it says on the first video

first term glossary

During this term we have learnt a lot of new vocabulary. We have focus on the qualities of sound. There are four qualities pitch, intensity, duration and timbre.


PITCH
Pitch: this quality of sound  distinguishes between high or low sounds. It is measure by wave frequency.
We should highlight some things about pitch:
- Tuning fork: it is an object used before playing an instrument. It serves to tune.
- Staff: group of five lines and four spaces where we write notes or other symbols.

- Scale: sequence of notes.
- Tone and semitone: unit for measure the pitch.

Clef: it is a symbol that indicates the name of the note. There are two types of notes:
  * G clef:  we use it on the high register.










  * F clef: we use it on the low register.

Here it is a footage that I did with Adrian. Hope you enjoy it because we have work on it a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzmL9KKd1q4 

For me it is synchronise and that makes it nice.


DURATION
It is the quality of sound that distinguishes long or short sounds. It is measure by wave persistence.
- Note values: symbols that represent the duration of sound value.
- Rest: represent the duration of the silence.

- Time signature: divide into equal parts and sets notes and rests values.

- Length modifiers: prolong or extends the duration.

  * Dot: adds half of it value.

  * Ligature: adds up duration.

  * Fermata: extends interrupting the measure.

- Tempo: speed of the performance of a musical piece:

  * Largo: very slow

  * Adagio: slow

  * Andante: calm

  * Allegro: fast

  * Presto/Vivace: very fast

Here it is video about an example of an overcoming.

https://www.ted.com/talks/evelyn_glennie_shows_how_to_listen?language=es

For me it is really amazing.

We also have studied what is the sound, what is the noise, and what is the silence.
- Sound: is produced when and object vibrates and it is transmitted
by sound waves. These waves are regular.
- Noise: is a bad unpleasant sound. It is also transmitted by waves but these waves are irregular.
- Silence: it happened when there is no sound.

Here is an example of a quite unusual room where you can´t hear anything and you can't produce echo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXVGIb3bzHI
For me this video it´s a bit weird and I think that it is amazing what we can do.
