Modern Foreign Languages - Spanish
What is the vision of Spanish at Lee Chapel?
Intent
Our vision at Lee Chapel Primary School is for all KS2 children to develop speaking, listening and reading skills in Spanish as they progress through KS2. They will also have opportunities to learn about cultural differences including food, music, currency and the alphabet.
Implementation
At Lee Chapel, our expectations for Spanish:
- Spanish taught weekly up to 30 minutes speaking and listening. This can be included during registration and in Early Morning Work
- An annual Spanish day celebrated in the Summer term
In addition, children are encouraged to to order their lunches in Spanish, allowing for extra opportunities outside of the lesson to test their knowledge.
Impact
The Spanish curriculum at Lee Chapel has been designed to not only ensure children have a greater understanding of the Spanish language, but to also:
- Improve their confidence, self-esteem and provide a sense of achievement.
- Improve their ability to grasp and utilize additional languages.
- Develop a greater appreciation for learning new languages and cultural differences.
- Improve their memory in phonics and their ability to recognise patterns in language.
- Provide them with basic level understanding of a language which they can explore further when they visit Spanish speaking countries.
