meat selection and olives.
Children reflected on their prior knowledge of map work to locate Spain and discuss key facts about its location. They were
able to identify countries surrounding Spain, the continent it is in and also correct each other’s misconceptions in regards to
Spanish facts. Children then learnt about the human physical features within an environment and applied this to use the I
pads to research the landscape and key landmarks in Spain. Children then applied this knowledge by plotting key landmarks
on a map of Spain.
Children also tasted and evaluated a range of Spanish foods. Many of the Spanish meats were a hit but the olives didn’t go
down too well. Children enjoyed learning about churros and were able to identify customs and traditions by learning about
when they would be eaten. Children also enjoyed talking about briefly about the different countries which speak Spanish
and the history of the Spanish explorers.
