Year 4 and their Spanish diccionarios

This week in Year 4 MFL lessons we had our first experience of using our bilingual Spanish dictionaries. We spent time exploring our new resources and the colour system to help us recognise words, plus we also shared discussed the similarities and differences between a normal English and a bilingual dictionary. We then worked in pairs or small groups to look up new vocabulary from English into Spanish.

We then used the sentence stems we have been learning to manipulate our new language to build new sentences to describe our local area. Here are some examples of our independent writing attempts.
