Year 4 Spanish Day

Where is Spain in Europe? We looked closely at a map of Spain and found out that it has a large coastline, with beautiful beaches and many people enjoy visiting Spain every year on holiday. It is also bordered by Portugal, Gibraltar, Andorra and France.

We created some collages of beach scenes and used them as an inspiration to write poems about A Spanish Holiday.

My Spanish Holiday I went on a shimmering plane To an incredible country called Spain I went for a paddle in the sea. But it was too cold for me! I had a delicious, strawberry ice-cream It tasted just like a dream! Then I headed for the shops Where I bought some lovely tops. I got all my friends a gift I only just managed to fit in the lift! Then I went to watch a bull fight As a treat on the very last night. I had such a lovely time in Spain. That I hope I can go again. By Erin

What is the Spanish flag like? We found out that the yellow section of the Spanish flag is double the width of the red sections. We learnt that Spain has a King and Queen. The Royal Coat of Arms is on the Spanish flag.

Spanish Music and Dance We learnt Spanish dances and listened to Spanish guitar music whilst we worked.

Famous Spanish People There are many famous Spanish people including footballer Fernando Torres and World Number 1 tennis star Rafael Nadal Pablo Picasso was a famous Spanish artist. So we created some artwork in the style of Picasso by drawing our portraits looking unusual, and then adding shapes and painting them in bright and colourful ways.

Did Picasso actually paint Miss Hoyle?
