Spainish Sounds

As part of our topic this term we are comparing and contrasting Spain with Shetland. We have been learning about the Castanet and its use in flamenco dancing. Take a look at our homemade attempts! We have also been looking at the Spainish Armada and their thwarted invasion attempt. After being forced north and around the top of Scotland, Spanish sailors were said to have visited Fair Isle where knitting ideas were exchanged.

During the past two weeks we have been looking at story telling and focusing on Jack Foretells the Future where a young man appears to tell the future of a hapless farmer. We are making the story our own by creating a puppet show for the whole class based on what we’ve been learning. Others have been using the story as inspiration for their own creations.
