Year 5 - Spain

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…

We spent two days finishing off our Stone Age topic by designing and making different objects from the Stone Age. We used natural materials to make bows, arrows and spears and we also made necklaces – which would originally have been made out of stones or bones, but we decided not to do that!

Our necklaces look great hanging up in our classroom – come in and have a look!

We braved the weather and went outside to demonstrate the movements of the Earth and the Moon around the Sun. It was a lot of fun – the Earth children had to spin as well as orbiting the Sun, and the Moon had to orbit the Earth while they were doing that!

Here in Spain we hope you all had a lovely Christmas and are enjoying all 2018 has to offer! We are looking forward to learning lots of exciting things this term. You can see what we have planned by clicking on our Curriculum Topic link on our blog page.
