French: Celebrating the European Day of Languages: Spanish

  Year 4 celebrated the European Day of Languages today during their French lesson. This is an annual event,  generally celebrated on the 26th of September. 

As we have a variety of languages spoken in our school, a language relevant to a child in each year group was chosen. 

Year 4 found out about Spain  and Spanish. They counted to 10 in Spanish, coloured in the Spanish flag, learnt some Spanish greetings, identified Spain on a map of Europe and then created a factfile with some interesting facts.

We were introduced to the characters that appear in Mokee Joe - the good, the bad and the ones in between! We discovered the characters of Hudson Brown, Molly and Ashley - who try to bring Mokee Joe down.  The stories were set in different parts around the world and each bringing more adventure, problems and villains with it.   The children were captivated and laughed, clapped, gasped and were in awe of the stories.  They were a credit! Pete said that they were "an amazing audience" and that he would love to come back and work tell them more of his stories!  There is still time to send in some money for books - £5 each / a complete set of 6 for £30 (he has said that there will be no more Mokee Joe's).  Please send any ...
