The Meadows Primary Academy
Spanish
The teaching of Spanish is not all about a sound knowledge of basic grammar and vocabulary; we want our children to develop a love of language and use their enthusiasm that will help them to progress beyond our school.
There are so many important reasons to study a modern foreign language like Spanish. By exposing the children to a language and culture different to their own they will develop an openness to learning about other languages and cultures around the world.
How we teach Spanish
To provide our children with the best possible curriculum and teaching we use the Primary Language Network. This involves a lot of oral rehearsal, so that the children feel confident when speaking in Spanish. We teach Spanish from Year 3 to Year 6.
What your child will learn
- To understand and respond to spoken and written language from a variety of authentic sources.
- To speak with increasing confidence, fluency and spontaneity, finding ways of communicating what they want to say, including through discussion and asking questions, and continually improving the accuracy of their pronunciation and intonation.
- A positive, enthusiastic attitude to language learning within a secure and supportive environment.
