Spanish Expo 2.30pm Fri 31st Oct

23 Oct 2025

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

During terms 3 and 4, our Year 3/4 and 5/6 Spanish classes have been on a journey around Latin America. We’ve made our way from Patagonia, through the Andes Mountains, to the Galápagos Islands and more, all while building our Spanish vocabulary and cultural understanding. We are wrapping up now with Mexico just in time for the Mexican holiday that falls on the 1st of November, Día de los muertos, a day of remembrance for loved ones who are no longer with us. 

In light of that, next Friday, 31 October, the 3/4 and 5/6 Spanish classes are hosting an expo to show off some of the amazing work they’ve done during Terms 3 and 4. As this falls on Halloween, we invite students from all Spanish classes to wear a costume to school if they would like to. We want to invite parents and caregivers to join us from 2.30 next Friday in the gym to see your learners’ fantastic work and decorations. 

Muchísimas gracias,

Thank you!

Spanish Teacher
