¡Hola! ¿Qué tal?

This week in upper KS2 we've been working with different transports (en coche, en tren, en avión, en barco, en autocar ...). They're creating material for KS1 children. Some of them are working in books, some of them are working in comics and some of them are working in songs. They are doing a fantastic job! We will show it to you in a few weeks.

In year 3 we've been doing some mime games about the new topic, sports and hobbies, and writing some simple sentences about what they do in their free time (e.g. El lunes juego al baloncesto.)

The Spanish Club has been really funny, we've been working with some spanish tongue twisters. It was quite funny for them. Here you have two of them, try to read them!

"Mi mamá me mima y yo mimo a mi mamá." (My mum spoils me and I spoil my mum.)
"El rey se ríe de la reina." (The king laughs at the queen.)

By the way, have you seen the crossword?!

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!
