We also learned a Spanish traditional dance  from our visiting Spanish teachers .

Third and fourth classes

Two Spanish teachers came to are school and with them they brought Seamus in a Spanish soccer teams jersey  Real  Betis.

We made an Advent calendar we coloured it and stuck it together and brought it home with us.

We did narrative writing.

 It’s  been very cold and icy in the school we have had bad weather.

 We wrote  letters to are pen friends and we got letters from them. We played Spanish games with a handkerchief  it was really good fun. We learned some Spanish words and phrases like “whats your name?  My name is ………”

 We all had fun.
