Year 5 had so much fun learning Spanish at Macclesfield Academy. They learnt lots of food and drink words, how to order things in a restaurant and to understand what a waitor would say. They wrote plays and acted them out in front of each other. The language teachers at Macclesfield Academy were really impressed with the children's language skills and said that we have lots of brilliant lingusts in Year 5. Bien chicos y chicas.
