Found this via the LiverpoolFC Twitter feed!
And given my love of Spain, music and, most of all, Nando, I just had to share it with you.
Just one thing – that girl is MAD!

Wondering if any of you would like to add to a debate I’m having at the moment re QCA schemes for KS2. I’m trying to help someone choose the best way to present materials on a site to satisfy as many Primary MFL teachers as possible. Having drawn their attention to the KS2 Framework and the QCA units and their thematic and skills rather than topic based approach, they’re now in a quandary as to how to best present things.
In your experience, do teachers tend to still take a topic based approach?
Are people using the QCA schemes?
They’ve just been updated – how long do you think their shelf life will be?
And, here’s a tricky one! – do you think if we get a change of government that the policy and therefore Framework / SoW will get changed again?
If you were planning resources with the aim of them being used universally, would you go for topic based approach or would you choose a number of themes loosely based on the QCA schemes of work, covering a number of topics, and follow their order to get the progression through the years right.
Any insights more than welcome. You can leave comments or contact me privately if you’d rather!
Gracias xx

As we’re all taking down our Christmas decorations and enjoying the snow, (well, we are here having been granted a snow day!) in Spain and Mexico, children have been receiving their presents this morning, left for them by Los Reyes Magos.
So, to all of you, ¡Felices Reyes!
Here is a video of last year’s celebrations in Madrid. Enlightening and well worth using in class to show children what happens.
Here’s the start of an animated film from Mexico about Los Reyes Magos.
And not forgetting the hilarious clip I shared last year!
I’ve set myself a challenge for 2010.
It has nothing to do with languages nor ICT, well, not really.
It has more to do with my mental wellbeing, and doing something different.
I love trees and find them beautiful and intriguing. Looking at trees makes me feel calm and secure. And recently I’ve been taking lots of photographs of trees.
So – my challenge – to take a photo of a tree every day for a year.
I’ll be publishing them on Flickr in my set Trees365 but I’ve also started a new blog called Trees365 on which I will publish them with, I hope, a slightly longer comment.
I’d love your comments and advice!
