They are currently learning some basic words and phrases Spanish. They watched the film in English, with Spanish subtitles.
Forest Fun
We had a fantastic afternoon down in the forest making dens. We worked well as a group to collect the materials we required and using them to make our den. We showed great problem solving skills on how to hold up parts of our dens.
The only criteria Miss Wilson gave us was to make sure our den had a roof and a seating area for everyone in the group to sit on. I am sure you can see, we were very creative with some groups creating beds to sleep in, fires to keep warm and decorative items such as flowers!
