There will be an information evening for the students and parents who are going on the fieldwork to Valencia, Spain in February 2025. The information evening will be held in XP East on 16 May at 16:30 and will last approximately one hour. This is an opportunity for us to go through the finer details of the fieldwork and to answer any questions you may have. Looking forward to seeing you on the 16 May at 16:30.
The Spanish Team
Today Year 7 (E30) learned words and phrases to say what rooms they might find in a home. Students practised the language and then worked together to produce a description of a house in Spanish. Students used sentence builders and graphics to develop their writing. They also worked on building their character traits of respect and integrity by working well and showing kindness to one another in their groups. Some students challenged themselves by adding in negatives and plurals.¡ Buen trabajo!

Two of our Year 10 students visited New College today to experience A Level Spanish. Students worked with current Year 12 and Year 13 students to improve their speaking skills. They talked about what their lives would be like if they lived in Spain, building on previously learnt vocabulary and grammar, and adding new language through conversation. They also looked at careers where languages can be an advantage.
Students in E28 Spanish are planning to respond to their Guiding Question, “¿Cómo me conecto con el mundo?” (How do I connect to the world?). They are creating mindmaps to organise their learning from this term in preparating for producing an extended piece of writing in Spanish next session.
Just a reminder that the E29 Spanish Presentation of Learning will be taking place on Monday 10 July from 4-5 p.m. at XP East. It’s also Sports Day, so students may wish to bring a change of clothes for the POL.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear our lovely Year 7 students show off their Spanish skills!

The E29 Year 7 Spanish presentation of learning will take place on Monday 10th July starting at 4:00 pm and finishing at 5:00 pm. The students will presenting work from their Spanish expedition “¿Te alegras de ser tú?” (Are you happy being you?). During this expedition the students have learned how to talk about themselves, their local area, their families and friends, and their life at school. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear E29 show off their impressive Spanish skills!
Students will be expected to stay on site until the presentation starts, and parents and carers should come to reception to sign in. The presentation will be held in the heart of XP East school.
