Room 18 Inquiry Term 2

Room 18 has been focussing in on Spain.  They really enjoyed the opportunity to learn some Spanish (colours, numbers, greetings) and this motivated them to find out more.  The different festivals were of high interest to them as they are different to our own.  They were also interested to learn about the flag and how widely spoken Spanish is.  Next step, if time, is some art based around Picasso's work.  
Talking about the STRIVE model was helpful, children quickly realised which stage we were up to and what that meant they needed to be doing.
