In our Family topic in Year 2, we have been learning how to describe other people. Using the third person, we have been adapting sentences to tell each other the names of our family members and friends, as well as what colour hair and eyes they have.

To help us work on our speaking skills, we each chose a family member we wanted to give a presentation about, picked out the information we needed, then wrote it down to create our Spanish scripts. We then used our scripts to help us deliver the fantastic presentations you see in our video. We hope you enjoy them!

In Hummingbird Class we’ve been interviewing each other in Spanish to find out about the activities our friends do when they’re not at school.  We’re a very busy class! We had to learn how to talk about all the different activities we do, then choose one to show in our interview.  We also had to learn how to ask the question “what do you you do in your spare time?” (¿Qué haces en tu tiempo libre?).  We had to really practise our Spanish speaking to make sure we knew what to say – we didn’t even need to write down our lines to help us remember! We worked really hard on building our confidence in our speaking.  It was a bit scary being filmed, but we think you’ll agree that we all did a great job when you watch our fantastic video!

In Spanish lessons in years 5 and 6, we’ve been learning about how to order food in a restaurant.  Using Spanish menus we created ourselves, we practised and performed a role play, in which we played waiters and customers at eating establishments that serve all our favourite dishes! We had lots of fun creating each scene, and some of us even added a bit of our creativity and imagination to the scenes! Take a look at our videos and see if you can understand our conversations.  Click on ‘read more…’ to see the Year 5 Video.

In year 1 we have been reading and retelling the story of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ in Spanish. Our Hungry Caterpillar speaks only Spanish, so we needed to learn how to talk about all the different foods he eats on his journey. We also had to learn how to listen carefully for the cues that told us when to deliver our lines in the story, and how to make sure our Spanish pronunciation is the best it can be. Cries of “¡aún tengo hambre!” were ringing out from Pelican Class while we prepared our story. Watch our video to see if you can work out what it means!

It seems Flamingo Class are very busy people! They’ve been learning how to tell us all about their packed schedules in Spanish classes and have created this wonderful video to show everyone what a multi-talented bunch they are! This half term they have been learning how to use different verbs to talk about their pastimes.  They have linked this together with the days of the week to give us a run down of all the activities in which they are involved. In our classes, the pupils have also learnt how to change verbs to talk about other people and the things they do in their spare time, as well as using verbs in the infinitive to give their opinions about different activities.  In doing this, they have also managed to acquire a few new adjectives to justify their opinions. Pretty amazing stuff! Take a look at the video to see just how much these excellent Spanish speakers manage to fit into their week! “¡Buen trabajo, Flamingo Class!” (Good work, Flamingo Class!)
