Episode 5 - La clase

'La clase' means 'the class'. First, we see the Spanish children going to school. Then we're in a real Spanish classroom, and after roll call the children are cutting, drawing and sticking. But some crucial items are missing. Has Jim got the glue and the scissors? Joe and Maggie go to Spanish schools themselves - see what Joe gets up to at primary school and Maggie at nursery.

Hola - Spanish children say hello from outside of their school in Spain

All the Spanish children, along with Joe and Maggie, shout: '¡Hola!' ('Hello!'). We can see their school behind them.

Here is one of Speekee's trademark ¿Y tú? (And you?) gestures, which prompt the viewer to repeat what has just been said. In this case, 'Soy Speekee' ('I'm Speekee').

¿Y tú? - Speekee with a group of Spanish children playing
How many children? - Speekee teaches your child to count in Spanish

Speekee counts the number of children in class and confirms there are cinco (five).

'Toma' ('Here you are'), says Nieve, handing the glue stick to Lucía.

Toma - here you are - Spanish children in their classroom
Brazo - children at primary school learning Spanish

The Spanish children are doing a chant with Jim to learn parts of the body. Jim points to the arm and the children chant: 'brazo'.
