Spanish is off and running and the students (and teachers) are really enjoying it. Senora Morris is busy teaching us greetings and we are getting better at pronouncing our words. Each week we engage in verbal, written and kinaesthetic activities to help us learn.
Some of the phrases we are learning include:
¡Buenos días! – Good Morning
¡Buenas tardes! – Good afternoon
¡Buenas noches! – Good night
¡Hola! – Hello
¡Adiós! – Goodbye
¡Hasta pronto! – See you soon.
¿Cómo estás? – How are you?
Estoy bien – I am good.
Estoy mal – I am bad
Gracias – Thank you
Here are what some of the students said about Spanish:
“I really like Spanish because when you learn it you exercise your brain.” - Lourdes, Year 2
“I like Spanish because it helps you to speak to people in Spanish because it helps you understand them.” - Jacob, Year 2
“I like Spanish because I like learning languages” – Leah, Year 1
“I like Spanish because you can talk in another country when you go there” – Joshua, Year 1
If you would like to continue this learning at home, some interactive activities you can engage in can be found at:
