Greetings

Hola Manolo and Raphael,

Time has passed very quickly since our wonderful visit to your school and local area.

I enjoyed it so much that I have told my wife, Deanne, that we should retire to Andalusia.

We are back at school today after our short Easter break., but will have a two week holiday starting on Saturday 5th April at the end of this Spring Term.

I hope you enjoyed 'Semana Santa', I would love to be in Spain one year at Easter to see and hear it for myself, it seemed such a marvellous spectacle.

Manchester City are still fighting for a European spot next year and currently lie in ninth position. I see that Real Betis had some problems recently and that Real Madrid lost at the weekend. Never mind though Raphael, it looks like they will still top the league.

I will 'blogg' again soon.

Un abrazo

Chris

El Club de español de Wanborough se presenta...

Cada miércoles después de las clases hay el club de español. Aquí hay una foto de los miembros.

Abajo hay unos mensajes y preguntas.



My name is Annabelle. I am eight years old. My favourite colour is orange.
Today we did the Easter Service up at the church. It was fun! We sang traditional hymns and there was a reading too. We also said two prayers. Do you celebrate Easter? How do you celebrate it? We receive chocolate Easter eggs. Yummy!
Bye!

Easter Service at St Andrew Church
On Wednesday, 19th March, all the teachers, parents and children of Wanborough went to St Andrews Church in Wanborough. They sang hymns and Mr Cardwell, the vicar, led the service. Eight people from year 5 went up and read the story of Easter. At the end we all said the Lord’s Prayer. Then we walked back in groups ready for playtime.

Hola everyone!
We are having a great time here. My class have been learning about El Carnaval. We made masks that were really decorative. We are also making dance routines to go with them. Soon we will be doing our dance routines around the hall wearing our masks. What fun things are you doing?

Drumming
Hola. How are you? The year 5’s have been busy doing African drumming. We did an assembly, which had warm-up in and boom-digger. Lauren and Max did a solo. Paul, our teacher, plays the drums. You can see the video on the school website.

Hello! My name is Georgia and I’m eight. On 19th March the whole school walked up to Saint Andrew’s church for the Easter Service. Do you celebrate Easter? If you do, how?

Wroughton Juniors say hello!

Today I went to Wroughton Junior School. We looked at the photos of our recent trip to Spain, which they found very interesting. They really liked to see the photos of the children. They were surprised that you don't have to wear a school uniform. Look at the photo of Mrs Hodges's class (year 3). The children are all wearing school uniform. They were also surprised that you have lizards. It is too cold in England for lizards.



Here is a photo of Miss Smith's class (year 3) looking at their display of the menacing monster. They had been learning about similes in their literacy lesson.



Wroughton School will soon join our blog page after they have resolved a problem with the filter. I know they are very keen to find out more about Spain through the blog.

¡Hola a todos!

Children from different classes have looked at the Spanish-English blog today. I think they are very impressed!

We can’t open the U-Tube video clip of the Easter week procession as we have a filter at school. That's not a problem though as the children can have a look from their computers at home.

Emma in Magpie Class has a question for the children. How do children celebrate birthdays in Spain? The children here often have a party with games and party food. They usually have a birthday cake with candles.

We were hoping that you might send one or two messages in simple Spanish so that the children can try to work out what it means. Would that be ok?

We look forward to your next message.

¡Hasta luego!

Hello everyone!

This is our first entry onto the new blog site. Thank you for setting up the blog page for us!

Today we are having fun at Wanborough Primary School. It is our Easter Egg Trail. The children have to follow a trail of clues and questions around the school. At the end, there is a big chocolate Easter egg for each child.
