I used these resources with Y7 and Y8 on National Poetry Day and they went down very well. The poem is a lovely one about colours, and is very accessible even to Y7s who've only been doing Spanish for a short time. They first read the original poem, practising comprehension and pronunciation, then wrote and illustrated their own version (examples included - excuse the mistakes, they were only in their first month of learning Spanish!).
The original version of the poem includes adjectival agreement, which was good practice for Y8s but caused some confusion and led to some poor grammar in my Y7s' own version as they'd only been doing Spanish for a few weeks and hadn't yet covered adjectival agreement. I've therefore created an adapted version for beginners which removes the need to deal with m/f/pl if pupils haven't done this yet. Apologies for my butchering of the original poem, but it makes it much easier for beginners to adapt!

Fantástico! Muchas gracias.
Used this resource yesterday with Years 5 and 6 for National Poetry Day, and they loved reading it aloud! ¡Gracias!
A great resource and very useful for introducing a little bit of literature for my beginners Spanish class. Thanks for sharing!
