Next week and half term
We've been busy building on confidence and cracking those bad habits, encouraging listening skills and broadening our vocabularies since new year :) . If you've only been once or twice please bear in mind that every week is different. Some weeks are noisier than others, some with more fluent speakers than others. Keep calm and keep coming!
Next week I will unfortunately have to rush off slightly earlier than usual to see my son's talent show so I will be with you until 2.15pm, apologies. However we continue to meet through half term week for Spanish Club, Wednesday 19 Feb 1-2.30 as normal.
Underneath this you will find some vocabulary learned during last week's session. And beneath that are the links to recently used weekly resources and TPRS class information.

Weekly documents
Here are the documents we've seen during Spanish Club recently. If you choose not to read them during the club feel free to take them home
read the sheets in you own time!
TPRS stands for:
Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling.
In short - it encourages you to speak!
We follow a prepared course, using storytelling and the re-telling of a story, questions and answers, repetition of language, and an overview of the grammar and structures at work in each story.
I started the classes in response to a query by a Spanish Club member.
