Spanish is the language children have the opportunity to begin to learn with us at All Saints CE Primary School.  The lessons are interactive with a focus on listening and speaking. By the end of KS2, pupils have greater opportunities to record in written Spanish.  Our curriculum is designed to enable children to:

• Listen attentively, understand classroom commands and language presented to them
• Actively participate in oral work
• Build up a useful vocabulary
• Memorise words
• Use correct pronunciation and grammar
• Express themselves clearly and with confidence
• Interpret meaning
• Experience success and enjoyment
• Develop social skills
• To develop cooperation by a variety of approaches: pair work, group work and role play
• To develop a social and cultural awareness which creates favourable attitudes towards other countries and broadens horizons
• To stimulate and encourage children’s curiosity about language
• To develop in the pupils’ skills and strategies which will support their future language needs

At All Saints Church of England Primary School, Spanish is taught weekly to all pupils in KS2. We use Oak Academy lesson plans to support our teaching.  Lower KS2 children acquire basic skills and understanding of Spanish with a strong emphasis placed on developing their Speaking and Listening skills. They will learn how to talk about themselves, animals and clothing. These will be embedded and further developed in Upper KS2, alongside some Reading and Writing. They will learn to talk about body parts, food, sport and transport.

By the end of Key Stage 2, pupils are expected to know, apply and understand the content, skills and processes specified in the relevant  programme of study.

Teachers make assessments against the skills progression accordingly – and keep track of any children who are not meeting these skills. Assessment of Spanish is reported annually in our Record of Achievement.
