Hello, we are in the way at San Miguel Arcángel, a school in Moras Fregal, a village next to Spain.

2
00:00:23,019 --> 00:00:28,019
This week we have been learning about Cervantes. He is a very famous Spanish writer.

3
00:00:29,019 --> 00:00:38,020
He was born in 1547 and he died in 1617, the same day that Shakespeare was born.

4
00:00:38,020 --> 00:00:47,020
He was born in Madrid and he lived in a literary area along with other Spanish writers.

5
00:00:47,020 --> 00:00:55,020
He had a very difficult life and he lost an arm in the Battle of Lepanto.

6
00:00:55,020 --> 00:01:03,020
To celebrate Cervantes we have read his stories, we have made colours to look like him

7
00:01:03,020 --> 00:01:08,019
and we decorated our school.

8
00:01:08,019 --> 00:01:16,019
Cervantes knows a lot, but his most famous story was Don Quixote de la Mancha.

9
00:01:16,019 --> 00:01:25,019
Don Quixote is about a man who reads a lot of books about knights and he wants to become a knight.

10
00:01:25,019 --> 00:01:30,019
He reads so many books that he expects to think that women are giants

11
00:01:30,019 --> 00:01:35,019
and he imagines that Doquinea is a very beautiful princess that she is in.

12
00:01:35,019 --> 00:01:40,019
Don Quixote travels around Castilla-La Mancha on his horse, Rotinante,

13
00:01:40,019 --> 00:01:44,019
and with his famous horse, Sancho Pampa.

14
00:01:55,140 --> 00:02:01,140
In Don Quixote de la Mancha there are noho sails that we will use today.

15
00:02:01,140 --> 00:02:07,140
Spanish children learn about Miguel de Cervantes. We are very proud of him.
