Intent
The aim of our Languages curriculum is to:
- Give children the opportunity to speak and listen in another language.
- Develop children’s cultural awareness of a different country where English is not the first language.
- Ensure that children have the confidence, knowledge and skills to converse on a basic level in another language and the desire to develop this further.
How PE links with our school values
 |
Resilience – Children show the determination to speak and listen to another language. |
 |
Aspiration – Children persevere in order to refine their speaking and listening skills. |
 |
Integrity – Children have authentic experiences and discussions about other cultures. |
 |
Respect – Children show and develop their respect for other languages and cultures. |
Implementation
- We have support from a secondary school languages teacher who teaches the Y5 & Y6 classes.
- Class teachers are involved as part of their CPD with the aim that they upskill and are able to take classes themselves in the future.
- We use a range of resources to support the teaching.
- The focus is on the spoken language.
Impact
- The intended impact is that children will:
- Learn the basics of Spanish during Y5 & Y6 and be able to hold a simple conversation.
- Develop an interest in learning languages which will prepare them for the next stage of their education.
- Build their understanding of the wider world and of other cultures.
