All year 3 classes have started Spanish lessons learning how to greet each other in Spanish. We have looked at the very interesting upside down exclamation mark which tells us at the start of the sentence to speak with a very happy voice! ¡Hola! ¡Buenos días! We are learning Spanish phonics with Mouth Mechanics to help us pronounce words really well!

We are learning how to ask for and state our names in Spanish. We have seen the upside down question mark which lets us know that a question is coming up and we should make our voice sound questioning. 

¿Cómo te llamas?  Me llamo...

We will learn to say how we feel in Spanish: ¿Cómo estás?  ¡Estoy estupendo! and count from 1-12.

Listen to these year 3 classes singing numbers 1-10 in Spanish!

Children will also learn how to say their age, colours and shapes and classroom items, as well as explore some Spanish cities and Spanish-speaking countries.

Celebrating success

We learned 9 pencil case nouns to ask and answer useful questions in the classroom. We made a lift-the-flap book. Our books are all in Spanish! Here are photos of all the work from 2026. 

We listened to and recognised key words in the story of The Hungry Caterpillar in Spanish. We learned a song about the caterpillar. 

Here is the amazing performance from pupils in Bats and Hedgehogs classes in 2026. What a fantastic job!
