NOTICIAS FROM THE SPANISH CLASSROOM
Hola a todos,
What a fantastic time it has been in Term 3 for our Spanish Classroom. This term we welcomed back Year 2s and Year 5s. The Year 5 students have been reviewing past lessons including numbers and feelings and learning new topics including how to say their age.
¿Cuántos anos tienes? How old are you?
Tengo diez años. I am ten years old.
Foundation and Year 1s have been learning about colours using a new song Colores y Números (Colours and Numbers) by Rocaklingua.
It would be a fantastic if you could play this song at home and practice some of the colours and numbers with your little ones.
|Los Colores (The Colours)||Los Números (Numbers)|
|Yellow: Amarillo||One: Uno|
|Blue: Azul||Two: Dos|
|Red : rojo||Three: Tres|
|Green: Verde||Four: Cuatro|
|Pink: Rosado/rosa||Five: Cinco|
|White: Blanco||Six: Seis|
|Black: Negro||Seven: Siete|
|Purple: Morado||Eight: Ocho|
|Brown: Café||Nine: Nueve|
|Orange: Anarajando/naranja||Ten: Diez|
Other resources to reinforce the vocabulary learned in all years are:
Los Colores by Basho and Friends
Numbers Rap by Basho and Friends
