My family took a week’s holiday in Maspalomas Gran Canaria. We visited Aqualand water park, the sand dunes and Wooland Fun Park.

Learning Opportunities:

• learning about the security measures at airports, watching the bag x-ray machines and the full body scan machines.
• being able to understand the universal signs displayed at airports that tell you where to go by using different symbols.
• practicing some Spanish words, like shouting Vamos when I set off from the top of the water slides.
• reading Spanish words like Salida for Exit
• lots and lots of swimming, including some with my mermaid tail on.
• walking on water, one of the entertainment activities was to see who could run across the top of the swimming pool on a floating mat. I was the youngest to complete it successfully.
• learning things about Denmark from my new Danish friend who is going to be my penpal.
• experiencing a desert, climbing up the dunes and racing back down.
• watching a glass maker in action
