The latest addition to Final Products created by Spanish students is on proud and prominent display on the upper corridor of XP East School’s top floor and XP School’s ground floor. The image is a composite representation of students’ digital or manual artwork, in answer to the guiding question: “¿Está el comercio justo en un mundo lejano?” (“Is trade fair in a distant world?”). In addition to building background knowledge about the wider Spanish-speaking world, our C25 / Year 10 students explored themes around social equity, whilst using the Spanish imperative to encourage fair trade practices linked to future benefits.

Today Year 10 carried out a running text protocol, working on short term memory. The text contained positives and negatives about the places we live in and can visit, and students certainly showed a sense of competition too. Have a look at them working hard towards the Learning Target ‘I can identify positives and negatives about a tourist destination’.

This week X24 have been looking at tourist activities, with an emphasis on shops and shopping. Today they grappled with a KWL protocol, identifying what language they already know, but also working out what was new to them too. Have a look at the beautiful work from Imogen, Isaac, Kyra and Amber.
