00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,240
Hi there, my name is Anna Strenk. I am an auxiliar here at La Ponto School.

2
00:00:05,459 --> 00:00:12,279
I'm here today with one of our students, Cesar. He's in fifth grade, and we are going to talk about his experience today.

3
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,339
Hi, Cesar. Hi, Anna.

4
00:00:15,419 --> 00:00:18,160
So, when did you start at La Ponto School?

5
00:00:18,539 --> 00:00:22,980
I started going to La Ponto School when I was three years old.

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,339
Three years old, wow. So it's been a little while.

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,559
And why did your parents choose La Ponto?

8
00:00:28,559 --> 00:00:38,159
My parents chose Lepanto school because it was very near to our house and because the

9
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,219
level of English was very high.

10
00:00:41,219 --> 00:00:43,600
Yeah, it is very high.

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,020
And we have an after school program here at Lepanto.

12
00:00:47,020 --> 00:00:49,960
Many of our students are part of it, including Cesar.

13
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,439
So tell me a little bit about that.

14
00:00:52,439 --> 00:01:03,600
So I started in the school program with five years and I practice karate and basketball.

15
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,840
And you do basketball this year as well, right?

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:06,840
Yes.

17
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,219
What do you like about basketball now that you're in fifth grade?

18
00:01:09,219 --> 00:01:19,439
I like that I pass a level and I play basketball matches every Saturday and sometimes on Sunday.

19
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:29,439
Yeah, it's great. And tell me a little bit about your teachers, because you have more than one, so tell me a little bit.

20
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:38,439
I have two main teachers, Marta and Susana. Marta is for language and math, and then Susana is for science and English.

21
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:48,439
And some subjects, you have special teachers for those. So, music, physical education, and religion or values, right?

22
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:53,959
yes exactly so there's a lot of different teachers in each year some of

23
00:01:53,959 --> 00:01:58,700
the teachers change which is really exciting and do your classmates change

24
00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:04,819
every year or do you stay with the same students no we switch every two years to

25
00:02:04,819 --> 00:02:12,080
know more people and be more friendly yeah that's great yeah we also have

26
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,379
presentations here at Lepanto they are very important for English acquisition

27
00:02:16,379 --> 00:02:22,439
so starting early on all of our students present on different topics so tell me

28
00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:29,340
about your presentations and when you started so I started in presentations

29
00:02:29,340 --> 00:02:37,500
when I was in third grade I think that is a very good idea because you can

30
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:45,060
practice English you can make it in a poster on a PowerPoint and that makes

31
00:02:45,060 --> 00:02:50,740
you very creative yeah and and what are some of the topics that you've presented on in in the past

32
00:02:50,740 --> 00:03:00,800

33
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:09,439

00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:14,479

35
00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:29,479
Every year we have the cultural week that we learn about some topics, for example this year we learned about the art.

36
00:03:29,479 --> 00:03:42,110
Yeah, and we had parents come in who work at museums and present on different topics, we even got to paint a wall at the school this year, it was a good time.

37
00:03:42,110 --> 00:03:51,110
Alright, last question César. What is your favorite event or activity at La Fonte?
