A presentation of OasisAcademy from Year 9B2
“We are very excited to welcome you to our school on the Isle ofSheppey. It is the only secondary school on the island so is very big – wethink there are about 2000 students. Te building is modern with a big
Astrourf where we like to play football at lunch time, but it isn’t sunny very often. Tere is also a dance studio and a theatre.
We live close to the school so we normally walk or get the bus. We arriveat about 8.15 in the morning so we can chat to our friends before thelessons start at 8.30. At break and lunchtime there is a big canteen where
we buy our lunch (if we haven’t brought a packed lunch!). Te food isreally nice and the dinner ladies are friendly. We have lots more time atlunch to hang out with our friends before afternoon lessons start. Teteachers are mostly really fun, although sometimes they can be quite strict.
If we could change any part of the school, we would like a swimming pool
or maybe a cinema! Tat would be really cool.
We can’t wait to meet you in June, but we are quite nervous about spea-king French to real French people for the first time!"
