Year 7 Admiral/X30 Getting Smart in Spanish

13th March 2024Vicky Collinson

This term Year 7 Admiral are learning to talk about where they live. Today they met the vocabulary for rooms in a home, and they worked together to build sentences to describe a house. Each student in the group had a role to play: one identified the graphic and reported it to the person acting as the dictionary. It was their job to use the sentence builder to make a sentence in Spanish. The scribe had the responsibility of writing the sentence alongside the graphic, and then the proofreader checked for accuracy. Students met their HOWLs target of “I can show kindness by working well with other people in my group” and then they were also able to report back in Spanish about what rooms were contained in their house. ¡Muy buen trabajo!
