A visit to Spain . 4K class assembly.


The tension mounts as the classes file into the hall, the sound of vibrant Spanish music floats from the speakers and the urge to move is almost irresistible. Have we been transported to a completely different climate or is the fact that 4K are about to deliver their class assembly?

 

The answer of course is the later and what a treat the assembly was. It all started with a welcome in Spanish, wonderfully pronounced by 4K's class teacher! What followed was the opportunity to follow 4 characters who arrive in Spain, eager to discover and find our more about this wonderful land. 

 

With the help of new ‘amigos’ they learnt the days of the week, counting to ten, , how to greet people and how to introduce themselves, Como te llamas? Me iiamo….

 

They also met some famous Spanish football players, enjoyed the delights of a Spanish birthday party and overall enjoyed wearing cool shades and making us laugh and learn at the same time. 

 

We even had an episode of strictly come dancing Spanish style, with our own select group of judges and a vibrant display of Spanish dancing styles, which included a less than friendly bull and a fantastic chance to enjoy once again the Spanish version of La Bamba and the Pasa Doble!

 

Well done to 4K for such an interesting and informative assembly. Some wonderful singing and some very familiar tunes that helped us all to learn. Spanish is certainly taking off at St John's.
