This term the children in Year 3 have been enjoying learning the Spanish vocabulary for a range of delicious fruits:

Una manzana – an apple
Una fresa – a strawberry
Una pera – a pear
Un albaricoque – an apricot
Una ciruela – a plum

We drew upon our Spanish phonic knowledge recognising that some letters are pronunced differently in the Spanish language:

Una manzana is pronounced as una man’th’ana
Una ciruela is pronounced as una ‘th’iruela
Una naranja is pronunced as una naran’h’a 

We then practiced writing the names of fruits and illustrating our favourites…

We have also  been building upon our Spanish language skills and are now able to recognise whether a noun is masculine or feminine from its article,  including whether the noun is in the singular or plural form!

un=masculine (singular); los=masculine(plural)
una=feminine (singular); las=feminine (plural)

Muy bien Year 3!
