AnonyMouse_15046 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Wasn't Salvador Dali spanish? How about a Franch/Spanish breakfast? You could invite parents to join you first thing and serve croissants/pain au chocolat and the little cakes they often have in Spain for breakfast. Make cards with a few words or phrases for parents to share with their children as they eat. Then have a look at how a french or spanish child's day may continue in comparison with their own - starting and finishing earlier etc.
AnonyMouse_8623 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Some of our children like to play with Dora the Explorer jigsaws, books and the characters themselves. There are spanish words in the books and children have learnt to count in spanish by watching the Dora programs on t.v.
AnonyMouse_1195 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Don't forget Picasso and Goya for Spanish artists, and also Flamenco dancing.
Guest LOSINGTHEWILLTOLIVE Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) We are also having an International week at school so my reception class are making non- alcoholic Sangria from grape juice/organge juice and lemonade, learning how to flamenco dance, may try to have a 2pm siesta after dinner, having a mock bull fight or Pamplona Bull Running with a child (or teacher) dressed up as a bull! We could throw some tomatoes but that would be a bit messy! We are also using Antoni Gaudi the Spanish architect and designer for our creative stimulus. we are making mosaic style paper plates and painting paper fans. We will probably have a fiesta style carnival celebration with games like pass the Sombrero, pin the tail on the donkey and practice hitting the piñata! Such lovely customs the Spanish Edited May 22, 2010 by LOSINGTHEWILLTOLIVE
