Focus Week - Spain

Here is a little taster of the fun that we all had on during focus week. As a school, we went on a cruise around different countries. The Year 4 children started and ended in Spain but travelled to Pakistan, Italy and India throughout the week.








During their time in Spain, the children learnt about the Spanish flag, completed a quiz about Spain/ fact file using the white board about Spain.
Some of the children were set the independent task of making a sombrero - quite challenging.





We learnt about the famous Spanish artist Pablo Picasso - can you remember what cubism is?
Finally, the activity that many of the children enjoyed the most was flamenco dancing in the hall. The girls were flamenco dancers and the boys were matadors. J3 and J4 performed their dance to the rest of the school during the sharing assembly on Friday.
The children also enjoyed learning about the famous fiestas that take place in Spain, especially La Tomatina in Bunol.
