Year 4 at Ladybarn have been busy writing postcards in Spanish to their peers at our link school in Madrid : CEIP Blas de Otero! The theme was school uniform so they explained what children at Ladybarn wear. The children at Blas de Otero do not wear a school uniform. Instead of postcards, they sent us a video of them doing a school tour for us! (in non - uniform!) Our postcards are on the way to Spain!

We  linked with our Spanish school,  CEIP Blas de Otero in Madrid,  and exchanged Christmas carols!  We sent  recordings  of 'Feliz Navidad'  in Spanish and CEIP Blas de Otero sent us recordings of '5 Little Elves' in English. 

​

It was fun to practise Christmas songs in each other's language and exchange these!

Last year all three schools in the trust  collaborated with our link Spanish school to  produce some amazing leaflets about Manchester,  other children wrote postcards about different topics, such as pets and uniforms. Incredibly, everything was written  in Spanish! 

 

The children in Spain worked on the same topics, in English. This meant  that we were able to learn all about Madrid, the school and the children. 

 

As well as sharing these with each other electronically, classes sent  examples to each other via the post so that they could be really enjoyed in person! 

 

It was great to practise each other's languages, learn from one another and celebrate diversity! 

 

Muchas gracias to our link Spanish school, CEIP Blas de Otero, for the great collaboration with us!
