Students
in Crofton come from different parts of
the world and they speak different languages.
These are the messages from them. |

When
I was in Cyprus I was telling
to my friends that I was to
go to London to go to school
and in one day my mum got the
tickets and we came to London.
I was really happy, and I did
not know we came here to stay.
Anyway times have gone through.
I wrote my name in the school
office. I was happy but my legs
was shaking up, because I did
not know anything. When I went
to school, I did not understand
anything. It was too hard for
me. It was like I was on my
own. I was only good at small
words, I did not know what teachers
was talking about. As the days
past I was starting to learn
something, but it was hard to
speak. Later my teacher Mrs
J. helped me lots of times.
Later I learned to speak English.
But I still can't say some words.
I think that was too hard. Sometimes
teachers was speaking to me
and I was looking their faces
like stupids and I wasn't know
where to go. It was too but
too hard. |

I
am a Buddy member, because I
like helping new people and
showing them around the school.
I will try my best to make you
feel welcome, get new friends
for you and so on. I, just like
you arrived later to Crofton
and I can understand how difficult
it is if you are on your own.
If there is a problem then you
see me and I will try to sort
it out, or I will get someone
to sort it out. I speak 2 languages:
Tamil and Hindi. I can help
to translate. |

I
can help students, who come
to Crofton and would like to
understand about the school
because I came to Crofton when
I was 14 and it was difficult
for me to make friends and to
understand when people were
talking to me. However, now
I can understand and speak well
English and I help people, who
come from other countries to
understand the system and to
show them around. |

I
came in September 2004 from France
and I could not understand when
people were talking to me and
after 6 months I have learned
a lot and I can speak English
well. Thanks to the help of other
students and of Mrs Jarrett I
am now able to do GCSE exams papers.

I
joined Crofton in Year 11 in
September 2004. I am Brazilian,
I speak Portuguese and at the
beginning I found it very hard
to catch up all the coursework
and do the GCSE mock-examination
in all the subject, like everybody
else. However, I got very good
mark and I was very proud. I
have learned a lot and Mrs Jarrett
has helped me to understand
the English system and to catch
up the work I missed. |
