Teachers TV: Lesson Starters: Primary Spanish Aquí está mi escuela

For KS2 Spanish, pupil Edgardo gives a tour of his Mexican school.

In this clip, Edgardo takes us on a tour of his school, Escuela Primaria 22 de Septiembre 1972. Starting at the entrance, Edgardo shows us the co-operative canteen run by the parents, the toilets (briefly!), the six classrooms in the two-storey school, the playground (during break time) and the IT room, ending up back in the playground at 12:30, the end of the school day.

This lesson starter relates to the language and themes explored in Unit 19 of the QCDA scheme of work for KS2 Spanish. Shot on location in Cosoleacaque, Veracruz in southern Mexico, the video offers opportunities to develop language skills and intercultural understanding. There are detailed accompanying teaching notes.
