Lessons 6 and 7: (25 de febrero y 4 de marzo)  

Topic: Describing your hair and your eyes: 

Learning Objective: 

  • We will be learning how to describe our hair in lessons 6 and 7 using a clip from Lightbulb languages (see resources for weeks 6 and 7)
  • Describing singular parts of the head.

Grammar: 1 Singular nouns 2 the definite article: The - el, la, los, las the verb 'tener' (to have)

 

Linguafun: Have a go at learning the ver 'tener' (to have). Go to Grammar, number 44. Select

'intro to verbs' choose TENER: yo tengo (I have), tu tienes (you have)él, ella tiene (he, she, it has) nosotros tenemos (we have) vosotros tenéis (you 'plural' have), ellos, ellas tienen (they have). Then select 'practice verbs' and choose TENER

This is a very 'irregular' verb. It does not follow an easy pattern. But it is one of the most useful verbs in Spanish. We have been using it since year 3! I will include a 'silly' song to help you learn it :) You know me!

 

Resources for weeks 6 and 7

South America: I hope you enjoyed visiting Argentina! This week I would like you to scroll down to Bolivia. Click on the fact file link for Bolivia and see what you can find out. Have fun! I'm loving some of the wonderful projects that are already being presented to me. I have learnt a few new things toowink

Weeks 8 and 9 we will be learning how to describe our eyes and visiting Chile

Spring 1/  Primavera 1 (2021)

 

CANTICUENTICOS "Quiero para mí" (huayno)

We're looking at Argentina this week. Listen to this lovely song 'quiero para mi' Lit trans: I want for me. Here the children wish for; a colourful ball, a bike, a nice beach to go to.... While out cycling, they happen upon a circus and learn how to do some circus tricks. What would you like, what are your wishes.....?

Lesson 5  Saying what your nationality is - I am English, I am Spanish 

soy inglés, soy inglesa/ soy español soy española 

Grammar:  Feminine, Masculine nationalities / The verb SER   (to be )

soy (I am), es (he, she is)

The Oak National Academy:  Watch the clip from 12 minutes: Así soy yo  Introducing and describing yourself in Spanish: You can listen from the beginning if you wish. It will be good revision to 'introducing yourself' in Spanish. This clip will teach you how to say your nationality and about the flags of different countries.

 

Linguafun: Have a go at learning the ver SER (to be). Go to Grammar, number 44. Select

'intro to verbs' choose SER: yo soy (I am), tu eres (you are)él, ella es (he, she, it is)

nosotros somos (we are) vosotros sois (you 'plural' are), ellos, ellas son (they are). Then select 'practice verbs' and choose SER

There are two verbs in Spanish that mean 'to be'. You will meet the next one in year 6. It is good practice and useful to learn how to 'conjugate' verbs - remembering them in a set way.  SER is an irregular verb and so each 'conjugation' has to be remembered separately.

 

Information on South America and its flags: look at the power point, look at the flags for each country. Make the mini book and colour in the flags - For those who can't remember how to make this, I will post a video explaining how to make them :)

 

Resources for week 5

 

South America: This week I would like you to scroll down to our first country, Argentina. Click on the fact file link for Argentina and see what you can find out. I will be asking you to choose your favourite South American country during the summer term to do a more in-depth project on, after we have 'explored' each country a bit more.

This Argentinian group will get you dancing, a nice warm up on a cold day! They are making a very odd soup, can you work out what is going in?!

Lessons 3 and 4: Telling the time in Spanish - a quarter to (menos cuarto) and a quarter past ( y cuarto)

Linguafun: Do all of the green activities to practise the above. When you have finished have a go at the end of unit quiz. 

Worksheets: Have a go if you have time. There is also a pairs game. Again, don't worry if you can't print - draw the clocks and you can email me a picture if you wish.

Extra Spanish: Lightbulb Language lesson on time: Click on the link and scroll down to number 51saying the time on the quarter of an hour. Watch the clip and if you want something extra to do, have a go at the activities next to it (I'll include the worksheet but it is extra!)

South America: a general look at South America. Go to the following link. In a few weeks you can have a look at individual countries. Have a go at the quiz.

Un Dos Tres Que Hora Es?

A song to teach the time in Spanish. The lyrics can be found on slide 3 of your lesson pdf.

Video links from lessons 1 and 2

Extra Spanish: If you have time left at the end of your Spanish, or if you want an extra challenge have a go at the following:

1 Year 5 Spanish workbook (By Rachel Hawkes): If this is too hard, look at the year 4 workbook. If you have already completed the year 5 workbook then look at the year 6 workbook!

¡Hola!  Semana 12, 4 de diciembre

I hope you enjoyed your Spanish Christmas lesson yesterdaysmiley This was our last lesson of the term.

¡Hola!  Semana 11, 27 de noviembre

This week we are continuing with the topic of the body 'mi cuerpo'.  We're adding on more vocabulary. Log on to Linguafun and go to no 28 'el cuerpo'. I would like you to do part 1 and part 2 (I will be checking next week with a quick test!) and play the activities that go with them. 

Extra: Click on the pdf 'el monstruo de la laguna' This is about a South American monster that likes to dance the Cumbia! (don't worry, he's friendly) Listen to which parts of the body are mentioned?   

Next week you will be designing and labeling your own 'monstruo'

 ¡hasta la vista! See you next week for a longer lesson smiley

¡Hola!  Semana 10, 20 de noviembre

I am sorry you did not have your Spanish this week year 5. We were going to start the topic of the body 'mi cuerpo'.  You're going to learn 8 parts of the body and sing a famous song. I wonder what it is ......? smiley Watch the following clip, practice the 'body' words and sing the song. Extra challenge: write the words down and say whether they are masculine or feminine nouns, singular or plural nouns.

Interesting fact and research: The Incas lived in the Andes in South America over 500 years ago. What did they prize the most, in fact considered more valuable than gold or silver and why do you think this is? ..... hint: it has become a key ingredient in European cooking!

 ¡hasta la vista! See you next week.

¡Hola y bienvenidos! (Week/Semana 8,  5 de noviembre) 

This week, year 5 have started the second half of Autumn term by learning about the Hispanic festival for 'Día de los muertos' (Day of the dead). It takes place on All Saints (1st November) and All Souls (2nd November). We looked at the tradition of making an ofrenda (an altar to remember loved ones) and decorating it with their favourite foods, drinks, photos, flowers, candles. I am posting a video story about a family getting ready for this special day and a couple of extra craft activities for pupils to do at home. From next week we will be watching the film 'Coco' (in Spanish with English subtitles smiley) and starting our topic on the family.

Story about the Day of the Dead. A family is busy getting ready and preparing food for this celebration.
