One final (for now!) Storybird, this time a little more complex than previously. This book is about animals and from where they come. It could be used as part of a cross curricular unit (geography /Science / Spanish). Whilst making it, I found a great website called Animalandia which has information in the form of short ‘fichas’ and a paragraph about over 400 animals and great pictures too. I particularly like the Carrusel de imágenes that can be set to flick through a certain animal group or just pop up images of random animals.
I wish I’d known of this site when I wrote this post about the QCA unit El Carnaval de los Animales, but it would certainly help with the latter tasks such as writing about an animal in the first person,  creating My Wildself and describing it.

PS I promise to get a new ‘obsession’ for November! ;O)

How many different ways can you answer the question ¿Qué tal? or ¿Cómo te sientes hoy? A story in Spanish about feeling happy and sad, angry and confused.

This book was never properly finished as I can’t go back to the pictures now to add more. However, it has quite a few ‘tener’ expressions even without being complete!

Not quite sure what to do today? Nor is our hero. Read on to find out what he decides to do.

I’m having a bit of a Storybird ‘splurge’ at the moment. It’s my chosen form of relaxation this week!

So here are two I’ve just written with the QCA Unit Yo soy músico in mind (see here for a previous post on this unit and here for a fun activity we did using Twitter!). Two becasue one is very simple with phrases using tocar plus an instrument e.g. Toco la flauta, whilst the second adds a frequency phrase to the sentence e.g. Toco el piano cada miércoles; Toco la guitarra a menudo etc. I guess i could write a third version adding even more detail…

This story has beautiful illustrations to help talk about the weather in Spanish.

A new Storybird that has not been seen previously, especially for Halloween – and specifically written for RGo at WCPS ;o)

Count with Calabaza (Pumpkin) from 0 to 9, and then find the Halloween objects in the story.

Hope you enjoy it!

UPDATED October 2020

Storybird have changed the ability to share so here it is narrated as a PPT.

Another Storybird, this time with more text.

“Mis amigos raros is a Spanish story about Eduardo’s friends who are all a little out of the ordinary.”

I’ve decided to (re)publish my Storybirds over the next few days. Here’s the first, a very very simple ‘story’ about colours in Spanish.
