    Well done to the GD children for translating King Phillip’s speech. This was truly a challenge and we felt the need to use Google Translate to support. Could you great a glossary of words for this paragraph so other children could try to translate this without using Google Translate?

  5. Mrs Kiani

    Well done for your great efforts on the blog, you worked really hard on using your prior knowledge of the Spanish language and your deciphering skills to work out what the new vocabulary meant to match the Spanish headlines to the English ones.

    2. El final de una era – The end of an era
