In this clip, Ulysses introduces the four seasons as they're known in Mexico, and talks about the weather associated with each season using models created by his school friends. In spring, for example, the weather is hot and sunny, but there's very little wind and so birds can fly without any difficulty. In the summer, however, there's a lot of wind and so children go out and fly their kites. In the autumn, leaves fall and it's rainy; and in the winter, there's even snow in some parts of Veracruz. This lesson starter relates to the language and themes explored in Unit 17 of the QCDA scheme of work for KS2 Spanish. Shot on location in southern Veracruz, Mexico, the video offers opportunities to develop language skills and intercultural understanding.
