Hola a todos.

Today in Years 5 and 6 we have been finishing our presentations about our family. Most of them are ready and posted on the blog. Some of them sound like a native Spanish speaker! Amazing! Why don't you have a look at them? They are really funny! We have also been working on comprehension activities. You are all getting better and better.

The Spanish club was really enjoyable this week. We were learning parts of the body and the face. We were drawing monsters with three eyes, two noses, one ear ... We did a picture dictation in pairs. The children did it beautifuly.

Next week something new will appear, "The question of the week". You will need to try to find out the answer to some questions about Spanish language and also about Spanish culture and lifestyle so watch this blog :)

Hi everybody!

This morning we've been recording our family presentations in Year 6. They have done a great job. You can listen to some of them here, we used voki and they are really funny. In addition we have been reading about some famous people like the Spanish actress Penelope Cruz.

In Year 3 we have been working with food vocabulary and how to order in a Spanish restaurant. We need to be ready for the "Spanish afternoon". They have also done a fantastic job.

Today in the Spanish Club we have been painting pictures by working with colours and numbers. Some of them have realised that learning Spanish could be funny. They loved it!
