Year 5 - Huesos de Santo

Year 5 enjoyed making tasty Spanish treats following a traditional Spanish recipe. Despite the odd name, huesos de santo or "saints bones" are delicious treats. The Spanish traditionally eat them on 1st November (All Saints Day). This is the day when families gather together and visit their loved-ones' graves. The funny name for this sweet treat comes from the appearance of a white bone on the outside, and is traditionally filled with a sticky yellow filling although you can also find them with chocolate or fruit fillings.

Las Manzanas de otono

September and October are the months when the North of Spain celebrates at the apple crop. There are plenty of festivals and everybody samples different ways of eating apples. The most popular with children is manzanas de caramelo, candied apples. The children had a go at caramelizing and decorating their own apples following their recipe in Spanish.

Year 6 Cookery

Year 6 enjoyed following a traditional Spanish recipe to make delicious apple tarts.

Este es mi amigo

Children learn to sing and dance to a song practising some salsa steps. In the words they practise greetings and introductions. Este es mi amigo, esta es mi amiga, vamosa bailar.

Year 5 Amaguestu

To celebrate this November festival, children roast sweet chestnuts and make an apple drink. Ancient to ancient beliefs chestnuts were the symbol of the soul. Each Chestnut eaten released a soul from purgatory.
