The children have really enjoyed our Spanish day this week! We learnt lots of Spanish, wrote fact files about Spain, and even created our own art in the style of Joan Miró. @CrossAshLLC @CrossAshEIC @CrossAshECC

Today we created a passport to France. We learnt new phrases and sang a French song, looked at countries that speak French, did a French maths lesson, and even enjoyed tasting some French foods! Tres bien la classe! 🇫🇷 #AmbitiousCapableLearners @CrossAshACL #LLC @CrossAshLLC

@CrossAshY4 enjoyed their ‘trip’ to France today! We completed our passport check ins, weighed our baggage, observed the in flight safety guidance & explored the French language using @Flipgrid. One of our favourite parts was tasting some French cuisine! @CrossAshEIC @CrossAshLLC

We can’t go to France, so today France came to us! We built the Eiffel Tower out of spaghetti, learnt new phrases and enjoyed some tasty treats 😊🇫🇷 #AmbitiousCapableLearners @CrossAshACL #LLC #STEM @CrossAshLLC @CrossAshSTEM
