Today we practised the question ¿A dónde vas? = Where are you going to? We answered using the preposition "a". Voy a Barcelona. Voy a Madrid. Voy a Alicante.
We talked about why it is good to learn a language and got a sticker/book if we could give a reason:-) Now we know that it is important to communicate when we go abroad, when we want to make friends or in case we get to hospital in a foreign country.
Y3 We had a Skype Chinese lesson! The teacher played the ukulele and sang "Twinkle twinkle little star" in Chinese and we repeated the lines after her. We did really well! We sang the Me llamo... song, and taught them to say Hola and Adiós. Their school is called Robin Hood Primary School in Birmingham and their blog is
We made hot air balloons with spoon men. We had to learn to say hello in 3 languages and write them down on post its. Then our little people were allowed to travel around the world in hot air balloons!
eTwinning postcard project We made "Happy European Day of Languages" cards and sent them to 18 schools in Europe. We have started to receive some from them, look at our displays:
Today we have learnt about sandwich fillings and we said which ones we liked and didn't like. This time there was no real food like last time, but we still managed to hold a whole chicken! Look at all these yummy sandwich fillings!
el bocadillo de queso = cheese sandwich
el bocadillo de pollo= chicken sandwich
el bocadillo de jamón = ham sandwich
Next week we will make a class survey and see which is Y6's favourite.
We started to celebrate the European Day of Languages! We will send cards to 20 different schools in Europe, and our cards will travel to Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Latvia, Romania, Italy, Greece and to another English school in London. We are very proud of our work and we are excited about getting their cards. They will love the glitters!
We sang our song: Soy una taza,it was fantastic to sing and dance it together, Y6 definitely did lots of Spanish practice every day:-)
The Spanish leader from last week got his reward, he did so well practising the words every day with the class. We picked the new leader for the 5 A DAY challenge.
Surprise song!!! I hope the pupil who asked for it will find it!!!! :-)
Today we have learned to ask: ¿A dónde vas? = Where are you going to? We looked at the map of Spain and answered with our favourite places: Voy a Barcelona. Voy a Madrid. Voy a Alicante.
We sang our song: Este puente va a caer. (The bridge falls down, how will we cross the river? On a paperboat!:-)

First we revised our body words we learned last week, we played "Simon says" and with Mr Potato Head's lost body parts.
We had a lucky volunteer who came out to the front of the class to be the class alien! Mrs Culshaw described the alien like this:
Tiene tres ojos, cuatro orejas, una boca y una nariz.
The hat is pictured on Valentín here.
Then we practised tiene with the kitchen timer!Hope we all remember that tiene means he has got/she has got....
We had great fun singing our new body song: Chuchua! Here it is in case you want to sing it at home, but be careful, it is exhausting!
The Spanish leader from last week got her reward, she did so well practising the words every day with the class. We picked the new leader for the 5 A DAY challenge.
We have learned to say how old we are: Tengo siete años.
We walked around the classroom with finger puppets and said:
Tengo siete años.
Now that we can say two sentences about ourselves, we created our Gamis with the Tellagami ipad app. It was funny to hear ourselves speaking a different language!
We were given Spanish books and we all put our names on them.
After giving a reward to our Spanish leader, we chose a new pupil to lead the 5 A DAY challenge, good luck to her!
In Year 5 today we have learned the names of some places we would like to travel to (la montaña= the mountainel río=the river, el lago=the lake, el bosque=the forest) and a very important verb: Voy,it means "I am going to...".
We joined in a song with actions and had to spot the new word we had learned at the beginning of the lesson.
We also started to design a postcard, and label the places on them.
Mrs Culshaw picked a "volunteer":-) to be the Spanish leader for the 5 A DAY SPANISH. Good luck to him!
In Year 4 we have learned some body parts: la nariz, (the nose) los ojos (the eyes), la boca (the mouth), las orejas (the ears).
We know that it is easier to learn new words if we practise saying them a lot, so we played our favourite games. We had fun trying the new detective sunglasses on!
Unfortunately Mr Potato Head couldn't be with us today due to getting lost but luckily Mrs Culshaw had a REAL potato with her , which saved the lesson!
We sang "Cabeza, hombros, piernas y pies" from our CD and all got very tired.
We picked the Spanish leader, good luck to her next week!
In Year 3 today we have learned to ask each other's name and say our own names.
We sang a song while passing a parrot to each other and every time the music stopped, we all asked ¿Cómo te llamas? Whoever was holding the parrot had to answer : Me llamo....
We walked around the classroom with finger puppets and said: ¿Cómo te llamas? Me llamo....
We chose a Spanish leader for the 5 A DAY challenge, good luck to him!
