Year 5 - Spain

Over the last two weeks, we were lucky enough to work with the lovely Erica who came in from Pasta Gusto. Everyone had a go at making their own pasta – and eating some too! It was a fantastic experience and tasted really good!

Grace led the class in a brilliant warm-up before our dance lesson this week! She was a fantastic leader and worked everyone very hard! ‘Come Alive’ from The Greatest Showman has been on repeat for the last three sessions whilst we have been making up very exciting dance routines.

We made the most of the beautiful weather last week and went outside to get some inspiration for our poetry. Children chose a spot on the playground or field and wrote down their ideas before turning them into descriptive poems.

We had a brilliant morning with Aggy and the Munch Bunch team helping us to learn about Spanish food. We found out which regions of Spain produce certain foods, we had a tasting table, and we all helped to make empanadas. They were really tasty and we made enough to take a piece home too. YUM!

We are really enjoying using our new Creative Writing books to write our own stories. Everyone decorated their book at home and they look great! The books are filling up quickly as most of us use them when we first arrive in the mornings as well as during Friday’s lesson. Check back again soon for some examples of writing to read…
