Y3 Spanish and Computing
Date: 13th Sep 2017 @ 5:34pm
Today, children in Y3 had their first Spanish lesson!
First, we did a little bit of phonics whereby the childrean learnt that all of the letters in Spanish sound exactly as we would expect. We played some games with the vowel sounds which they seemed to enjoy (and which made us all giggle! pa, pe, pi, po, pu!)
Next we leant two simple questions: ¿Como te llamas? and ¿Como estas? and how to answer, before practising the following conversation in pairs.
Today we explored a piece of software called Logo where the children learnt how to give commands such as 'forward', 'right', 'left' etc to draw shapes. It was great to see them spotting errors in their own code and correcting themselves when things didn't quite work. We discussed how to change the commands to draw a rectangle and then even had a go at a circle.
As a school we subscribe to a suite of online software called J2E. Children can access this at home by going to j2e.com, clicking the 'sign in with Google' option, and then using their [email protected] email address and password. If you need any help with his, just come and ask.
