Spanish
Bienvenido (welcome) to our Spanish page!
Following our success last year, Spanish continues to be our chosen modern foreign language in Key Stage 2.
To engage our pupils, we have implemented a variety of strategies from songs and interactive computer games to listening and reading activities across KS2. From Year 3 to Year 6, children are exposed to the Spanish language and culture by developing their speaking and listening skills (in lower KS2) and their reading and writing skills (in upper KS2).
As a whole school, we recognise how important it is for pupils to learn about the world around us. Consequently, we have now installed a 'Fly with Fulfen' interactive world map in our school hall. Children have already been testing their knowledge of the world by challenging themselves to answer specific questions about various regions on the map.
In the previous academic year, we held Spanish workshops, a Spanish assembly, a Spanish food day and received a visit from a Spanish pupil! This year, we will be participating in even more Spanish-related events so for regular updates please visit this page!
Autumn 1: Key Stage 2 children have been revisiting the greetings (los saludos) and learning about family members (la familia) and the classroom objects (la clase).
Autumn 2: the children have been learning how to count in Spanish (los numeros), how to say the months of the year (los meses) and have thoroughly enjoyed learning the classic Spanish Christmas song, Feliz Navidad!
