Geography:  After half term, we will be carrying out some research on the countries of Spain and Mexico.  Please get a a head start by being able to locate both on a world map.  Try answering the following questions.  

Which continents are both countries in? What are their capital cities?  Do they have any bordering countries?  What is the climate like in both destinations?  What is the main language spoken in the country?  How big is the population?

Find a way of presenting your findings:  fact files, table, leaflet, poster etc.
