Las Profesiones

Today we were detectives, figuring out what our new topic is about.

This was easy, as a lot of profession nouns in Spanish are    so they are the same or similar to English words.

19.10.23

This week, we started with a rap to practise some of the feelings phrases we have been learning.

We used a simple sentence builder.

We experimented making different sentences, and found that we could change the pattern of the sentence by starting with the word when (cuando).  We also tried using 2 feelings or weather phrases in the same sentence.

12.10.23

This week, we described different ways of feeling, using the verb estar with an adjective.

We explored how the endings of the adjectives change in Spanish to agree (match) with the person/people they are describing.

We practised saying the verb to the beat of the song, We Will Rock You.
