Wykeham preparing for the second Skype session!

Year 4 were preparing for the second skype session today all about food and meal times. The children learnt the different meal times in Spanish: el desayuno, la comida, la merienda, la cena... We discussed some of the possible differences between England and Spain and learnt the names of some popular Spanish foods like Paella and Churros. The children are excited to ask you about how to make these!  


One  group is preparing a menu chart in Spanish to show what the school dinner menu is like and the different meals the children eat  at school each day. The children are learning all the food names in Spanish to be able to tell you on the day of the skype sessions...

We are also learning some songs in Spanish about different foods and we can't wait to sing our favourite ones to you! Singing in Spanish helps us with our pronunciation and we enjoy putting actions to our songs as this helps us remember what the words mean...

A belated thank you!

A quick belated thank you for all your amazing christmas cards they were very impressive! The children at Wykeham school loved receiving them and reading your messages in Spanish they were so proud to be able to understand your notes in Spanish muchisimas gracias!

Skype sessions a success!

The Skype Sessions were a success thank you so much to our twin school in Madrid. 

The children enjoyed their sessions so much and got to practise their spanish in a real context as well as making lots of new friends. 

We look forward to our next sessions next term!

The children were busy making christmas cards this week for their new spanish friends. Last posting date for Spain is tomorrow 12th December so we have to be quick!

Wishing you all a merry christmas and a happy new year.

YEAR 6 COMMENT ON EXCHANGE FROM A STUDENT

One from our students in year 6 has written this fantastic comment about the Exchange in itself....ENJOY IT!!

La Escuela Gemela.

 

El jueves nos comunicamos con la escuela gemela que está en Inglaterra (Londres). El colegio se llama Wykeham. Los alumnos eran de 6º curso. 

Primero la profesora de esa clase se presentó y luego los niños fueron saliendo uno por uno a hacernos preguntas sobre nuestro colegio en español. Para responderles nosotros teníamos que levantar la mano y nuestro profesor nos elegía para salir y hablar.

Cuando ellos terminaron de preguntar nos tocó a nosotros. Jose, nuestro profesor, les enseñó la clase y luego salieron dos compañeros a hablar y presentarse. Después salió otro alumno y les hizo una pregunta. Los niños del otro colegio tuvieron que hacer lo mismo que nosotros para responder. Así salimos la mayoría a preguntar.

Cuando acabamos les cantamos un villancico a ellos y ellos también nos cantaron una canción en español sobre los colores. 

Algunas niñas tenían pañuelos en la cabeza y los niños tenían el pelo muy corto.

A mi me ha gustado comunicarme con ellos. Ha sido muy divertido.
