We learnt the Spanish greetings for good morning and good afternoon.\u00a0 We also learnt numbers 1-10 in Spanish and listened to the Spanish version of The Three Little Pigs, picking out key vocabulary. In the afternoon we used a dice to play a number game – remembering our Spanish number names. The dice helped us to produce some Joan Miro style artwork.\u00a0 It is now displayed in the school hall.\u00a0<\/p>\n On Tuesday, we had a visit from Harold the giraffe and the Life Education teacher, Katy. We learnt all about our bodies and things we can do to keep them healthy.\u00a0<\/p>\n Thank you to Mrs Cottam and some junior children who have been renovating our school library. It looks fabulous!
