As you can tell, the main colours are those of the Spanish flag. It makes the display stand out. The title for our first unit is 'Greetings and Goodbyes'. I've already premade all of the display materials for the year so I have my other titles and such ready to go.
I've got the flags of eight Spanish speaking countries on display. This is to give the children some context in terms of where Spanish is spoken. We will discuss countries as the year progresses and will also look at some differences between Spanish in different countries and compare this to the use of English in different countries also. The flags will stay on the display all year.
The two children are going to be used to show dialogue throughout the year to promote conversation in Spanish. This will start quite basically and then evolve throughout the year to include more ambitious vocabulary and sentence structures. The speech bubbles are blu-tacked on the display and will be moved around a lot so it doesn't just remain a stationary display.
I've really been looking forward to teaching Spanish as opposed to French. I always struggled with French at school but studied Spanish for one year and picked up quite a lot, especially in comparison with the tiny amount of French I picked up in 5 years!
Signing off!
