Pupils at our school learn Spanish and enjoy the benefits of starting to learn a foreign language at an early age.
Learning a foreign language provides an opening to other cultures, fosters pupils’ curiosity and deepens their understanding of the world. It helps them to develop communication skills, including key skills of speaking and listening, and extends their knowledge of how language works, helping them to develop their grammar skills, and overall preparing pupils to the challenges of the secondary languages curriculum.
Our curriculum has been designed to progressively develop skills in Spanish. Our Scheme of Work shows how we deliver the National Curriculum Programme of Study for Languages. We refer to the yearly objectives mapped out by Hackney Education to inform our planning.
Spanish is taught in weekly phase sessions by our Spanish Lead Miss Ephraim.
Our curriculum has been designed to progressively develop skills in Spanish. Our Scheme of Work shows how we deliver the National Curriculum Programme of Study for Languages. We refer to the yearly objectives mapped out by Hackney Education to inform our planning. The units of work in which our curriculum is divided, are the medium-term plans, covering approximately half a term each and showing the order in which we teach. These units of work set out the learning intentions in knowledge, skills and understanding, grammar, vocabulary and phonics with assessment approaches and tasks.
