This term have been learning Spanish vocabulary linked to different body parts and starting to learn about masculine, feminine, singular and plural nouns in Spanish and their determiners. To practise the vocabulary thoroughly, we have sung songs, played games like Beat The Teacher and Simon Says and have done lots of speaking and listening activities.

This week Year 5 are taking their French lessons outside and used our Manor Way Forest School as their learning space.
As part of the lesson, the children took part in a Sentence Search, where they hunted high and low for French and English translations of different sentences. All sentences contained the verb Jouer (to play) but using different pronouns; the children said it was a fun way to discover and explore French conjugation for the first time.
Here are Aspen and Rowan enjoying their outdoor learning.
This week Year 3 and Year have been honouring UN Spanish Language Day which falls on 23rd April each year.
Year 4 spent last term learning all about La Fruta and they started learning about how Spanish nouns have gender. They played games and completed tasks in pairs and small groups to sort their fruit vocabulary and understand how to recognise masculine and feminine nouns in Spanish. This knowledge will be useful to them as we progress through the rest of the Spanish curriculum via other topics.
Year 3 spent last term focusing on learning their Spanish numbers; they played lots of fun interactive games to help practice a variety of skills - Bingo for listening, Mindreaders for reading and speaking and Tracing Time for their writing skills.
