P2b 25-26

The children have been bring in some very interesting items that have created important discussions about Spanish currency, travelling in Spain, traditional food, music and dance. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to do this, it is much appreciated and has helped shape excellent dialogue and developed further questions for us to explore through our Spanish journey.

We have been busy in P2b learning about the geography and landscape of Spain, the symbolism of the Spanish flag and discovered it has a population of nearly 50 million people. Lots of us, have visited parts of Spain on holiday, making important family memories and have even lived there for a time. We had fun using the knowledge we gained about the regions of Spain to create our own labelled maps in collaborative groups.

We have had a wonderful time getting settled into our new term in P2b this week and exploring our classroom environment. The class are so excited about what we might learn this year and I’m sure we are going to have lots of fun developing our creativity and skills across the curriculum. The book we read this week was ‘Zog’ by Julia Donaldson, this text is rich in rhyme, vocabulary and characterisation. We created wonderful drawings of Zog, story mapped his journey and sequenced this in order during our comprehension activities. After this, we had so much fun building dragon caves for Zog and his friends and a palace for Princess Pearl!
