Modern Foreign Languages – Spanish

At Rhodes Green CE Primary School, we believe that learning another language helps children to develop confidence, curiosity and an appreciation of the wider world.
Our chosen Modern Foreign Language is Spanish. Through engaging and practical lessons, children progressively develop their skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing, building their vocabulary and understanding of the language as they move through school.

Children are encouraged to use Spanish as much as possible within lessons, developing confidence through conversation, songs, games, stories and interactive activities. They learn useful vocabulary and phrases alongside developing an understanding of pronunciation, grammar and sentence structure.

Learning Spanish is also an opportunity to explore Spanish-speaking countries and cultures. Children discover different traditions, celebrations and ways of life, helping them to recognise and appreciate the diversity of the world around them.

We want language learning to feel enjoyable and accessible to every child. Making mistakes, having a go and practising together are all encouraged as children become increasingly confident communicators.

Our aim is for Rhodes Green children to leave primary school with strong foundations in Spanish, enthusiasm for learning languages and the confidence to continue their language-learning journey at secondary school and beyond.
