\"\"<\/a>We\u2019ve had such a lot of fun learning Spanish in JK this half term. I am lucky enough to spend two mornings a week with the wonderful children of JK and their fabulous teacher Ms Myrna, speaking and playing in Spanish.\u00a0 We use Spanish for lots of our everyday routines including circle time, playtime and craft activities. We count how many children are in the class in Spanish (as you can see from the video when you click on ‘read more’ below), we talk about colours and shapes when we\u2019re playing our games and getting into our groups. We even know how to tidy up, have a water break and put on our shoes in Spanish!<\/p>\n

During Halloween week we learned all about how pumpkins grow, what they look like inside, and how to make a Jack O\u2019Lantern. To complement all this learning we sang a song in Spanish all about Cinco Calabazas (five pumpkins) to practise our numbers, shapes and colours. Here is a link to the song so you can sing it at home! http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=maAbEpomWz8<\/a><\/p>\n

I have been amazed at how naturally and easily the children have been able to understand and use everyday Spanish words. They have fun practising and using the different sounding words. Our learning of colours, numbers and shapes helps to reinforce the children\u2019s familiarity and recognition of the things they use in their learning every day.
