Bramble clan have been exploring Christmas traditions in Spain and comparing them to Scottish traditions. We found out where Spain is in the world, the colours of the Spanish flag, the food they eat at Christmas, the decorations they display at Christmas, what epiphany is, the important dates in December and Christmas Spanish Vocabulary. We learnt to sing a Spanish song called Feliz Navidad and sang it at the Christmas around the world assembly.
We were learning how to write a persuasive text. We learnt about the structure, the language features such as sensing verbs and time sequence words and boastful language such as out of this world and first-class. We decided to create our own toy for Christmas. We worked in groups with each of us taking on a different roles- creative director, team leader and resource manager. We then had to plan and write a persuasive text on our toy and then create a persuasive advert. This could be a poster, video or song. We really enjoyed this task.

We had a fab time in December celebrating Christmas with our Clan Christmas lunch and party. Fun was had by all.
Merry Christmas to all from Bramble Clan and Mrs Scobie
