Students from Year 2 at Blas de Otero school are working together with students from Green End School Manchester (United Kingdom) learning about Continents   and our cities and countries. 

Los alumnos de 2º del Blas de Otero y los alumnos de 2º de Primaria del colegio Green End en Manchester (Reino Unido) estamos aprendiendo juntos sobre los continentes, nuestras ciudades y países.

During their 'Wish You Were Here' topic, the Year 2 children at Green End linked with Year 2 children at CEIP Blas de Otero, in Madrid, Spain. They wanted to find out about each other by asking each other questions. They learnt some interesting differences such as in language, food and weather (Although Manchester had both snow and sun within the space of a few weeks!) 

We had lots in common despite being so far away from each other, for example, some interests were the same: playing football, watching cartoons and playing computer games. Some foods, such as pasta and chocolate, were also liked by both classes. Surprisingly, when we studied the English / Spanish food dictionary, we noticed that some words were also the same in both languages! For example:  chocolate is el chocolate,  fruit is la fruta and broccoli is el bróculi
