Reminder! Spanish Expo 2.30pm TODAY
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
During terms 3 and 4, our Year 3/4 and 5/6 Spanish classes have been on a journey around Latin America. We’ve made our way from Patagonia, through the Andes Mountains, to the Galápagos Islands and more, all while building our Spanish vocabulary and cultural understanding. We are wrapping up now with Mexico just in time for the Mexican holiday that falls on the 1st of November, Día de los muertos, a day of remembrance for loved ones who are no longer with us.
In light of that, today, the 3/4 and 5/6 Spanish classes are hosting an expo to show off some of the amazing work they’ve done during Terms 3 and 4.We want to invite parents and caregivers to join us from 2.30pm TODAY in the gym to see your learners’ fantastic work and decorations.
Muchísimas gracias,
Thank you!
