The document summarizes a project between a school in the UK and Spain. The students learned about Spanish culture like sangria, paella, and Picasso paintings. They asked questions about Spanish architecture and celebrated harvest festivals in both countries. The children enjoyed learning Spanish dances and songs. They were interested in farming traditions and celebrated their own harvest festival by donating food to a nursing home.

2. Finding out about Spain

3. When we took a vote, we found that
everybody liked the patatas bravas
and wanted to
make it again at home, so we wrote
out the recipe.
Sangria
In our sangria, we put:
Sliced oranges
Blueberries
Cherries
Fresh orange juice
Black grape juice
Fizzy water
It was yummy!!!

4. We all tried it but not all of us liked the
paella.The look of the prawns put usoff a little bit.

5. A portrait of Pablo
Picasso by Gabriele
Donelli
Weeping Woman by
Pablo Picasso
I like all the colours.
This one scares me.
It looks like fun!
It doesn’t look very real.
What would you say if my drawings looked like this?.
I think he must have been a strange person.

7. Did the Spanish children enjoy it?
can’t believe our work went all the waySpain and came back again!
Can we do something like this again?
liked doing this painting but it looks even better now.
ike it because they have got a painting
nd so have we!

8. Before starting our research, we thought
of some questions we wanted to find the
answers to…

9. How old are the houses?
Can you still go inside them?
What are they hanging over?
We were amazed by the answers!

10. our maths, lessons we looked at shapes and created pictures
o look like this one found in the hanging houses in Cuenca.

11. e also measured and cut art straws to create geometric art
ork like this one.

12. We watched videos of our
Spanish friends dancing and
then tried it for ourselves. It
was hard, but fun. We didn’t
have any costumes like this
but we did try on a flamenco
dress that Mrs Sessions
brought back for us.

13. The children were very interested in the activities around Thursday
15th May, St. Isidro day, the Saint of the farmers. They related
this to our Harvest Festival which will take place on 7th October this
year.
St. Isidro day was celebrated in the hermitage with the whole
community taking part and our Harvest Festival will take place
in St. Luke’s church. We will invite families and friends to help
us celebrate.
A collection of fresh fruit and vegetables, tinned and
dried produce will be brought to the church and blessed
before being taken to Ashmeadows Nursing Home for
old and infirm people.

14. Some of the songs we will be singing:

15. Lord of the Harvest
Chorus
Lord of the harvest, Lord of the field, give thanks now to God in nature
revealed.
Give thanks for the sun, the wind and the rain and thanks for the crops that
feed us again.
The corn safely cut is gathered inside .we thank you, oh Lord, that you can
provide.
Chorus
The trees ripe with fruit stand proud in the sun,
we gather them now that summer is gone.
For your is the wonder, yours is the power,
yours is the glory of fruit and of flower.
Chorus
So in all our plenty, help us to see,
the needs all around whatever they be.
With food for the body, strength for the soul, it’s healing and caring, making
them whole.
Chorus

16. Cabbages and Greens,
Cabbages and greens, broccoli and beans,
cauliflower and roasted potatoes, taste so good to me!
Apricots and plums, ripened in the sun,
oranges and yellow bananas, good for everyone!
Chorus
It’s another Harvest Festival
when we bring our fruit and veg’tables,
‘cause we want to share the best of all
the good things that we’ve been given.
It’s another opportunity,
to be grateful for the food we eat,
with a samba celebration to say
‘Thank you’ to God the Father.
Golden corn and wheat, oats and sugar beat,
fluffy rice and tasty spaghetti, wonderful to eat!
Coffee, cocoa, tea, growing nat’rally,
herbal plants and all kinds of spices, very nice indeed!
Chorus
Cabbages and greens, broccoli and beans,
cauliflower and roasted potatoes, taste so good to me!
Apricots and plums, ripened in the sun,
oranges and yellow bananas, good for everyone!
Chorus

17. Pears and Apples
Pears and apples, wheat and grapes,
many textures, many shapes;
falling leaves in golden drifts
thank you, God, for harvest gifts.
Flashing shoals of silver fish,
every colour you could wish;
fishing boats for you and me
reap the harvest of the sea.
Deep beneath the ocean floor
fuel and power have lain in store,
brought to us through dangerous toil
thank you, God, for gas and oil.
Coal black diamonds in the earth,
ancient forests gave them birth;
skill and labour now combine
reaping harvests of the mine.
Earth and ocean, plant and beast,
altogether make the feast;
all who long to share your grace
at your table have their place.
Loving Lord, we know you care;
may we all your goodness share;
save us from all selfish greed,
finding you in those in need.
