Geography Spain

This last 2 weeks we have been visiting Spain. Not doing v well on the pics. We have sampled a spicy chicken and potato dish, as well as chorizo and manchego (Spanish cheese) Followed by paella and churros and some oranges from Spain.

We learnt about Picasso ,I didn't realise he was still alive when I was born! And had a go at recreating some cubist art.

Here is the Spanish flag.

The girls enjoyed watching and having a go at some flamenco dancing.

Geography

We started off our geography group remembering how God so love the world and holds us in his hands.
 We looked at our place in the world, our house, in our town, in our country, in our continent, in our planet. We learned about the 7 continents with a song!

We got our suitcases and passports ready for an adventure.
