¡Hola! ¡Bienvenidos a la clase de Español!
Angela writes: Barrow Hill pupils are certainly
keen language learners and enthusiasm has
been high in Spanish classes so far! I have been
very impressed with the rate at which
vocabulary is being learned and put into
practice: pupils were having conversations
already by the end of Term 1! Last term we
began with the language of meeting and
greeting before moving on to numbers. This term
we will be learning about animals, colours and
adjectives. I’ve been very happy to hear that
many pupils are practising at home with older
siblings. Here is some key vocabulary from last
term (see next page) if you’d like to have a go
too! Plus there are many websites to visit to
practise and to play games, including:

I use our school budget to pay for three teachers in
every year group instead of two. Only two schools
in Westminster do this. It means your child is taught
in much smaller Maths and English Groups. This is
why our standards are high.
WINTER FAIR 2016
Saturday 3rd
December 1-4pm
Grotto, games,
food, bric-a-brac,
tombola, lots of fun
for all families –
please join us!
BUT: it means I need to raise funds for other
essentials: books, computers, whiteboards, trips.
These make a huge difference to your child’s
education. Our Winter Fair pays for this.
This year I need every family to help.
Please volunteer for an hour or two on the day, or
in helping prepare. Please let Audrey know you
can help. Thank you - David
