May: Firstly apologies because I have been away longer than expected and secondly I am slightly behind with my blog writing. So far I've plunged back into my routine and am trying to catch up on work.

Spanish has been very useful revising tenses and practising for the exam. We have had various translation work and essays to hand in which I have done. I feel that the exam is not so daunting. My major problem is time management. I am slightly slow and need to watch my time when it comes to the exam, I have also been practising looking up words in the dictionary, this is another problem I found was that I was slightly slow when it came to looking things up.

Literature: We are in the last stages of the assessment and I have handed in the comparative essay after having my first draft corrected. I find literature very challenging. As well as the literature techniques I have learnt how to structure a comparative literature essay. This will be very useful for other subjects when I get to university.

History: I am working on my history project and have managed to hand in the latest essays on time. The next exam will be in a weeks’ time. I have really understood the build up to the Second World War and understand how it all started. This period of History is very interesting.

I have also started to learn Chinese! It's so hard! I'm not sure if I will continue it next year. There is a lot of work needed to retain it. But a good challenge all the same.
