Welcome to Spanish at Sacred Heart!
At Sacred Heart, we aim to ensure opportunities to learn other languages from EYFS, to Key Stage 1 and throughout Key Stage 2. We follow and use the Primary Languages Network scheme to deliver Spanish across Key Stage 2. Within the learning of MFL we develop our communication skills including the 4 key language skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening, through a variety of activities including songs, stories, sporting activities and art activities to name a few. Children are given the opportunity to gain in confidence and independence to explore the intercultural differences and understanding in order to give children a new and broader perspective on the world.

BBC KS2 Spanish
Following the BBC website will take you to a variety of short, child friendly videos that allow the children to see and compare the Spanish culture to our British culture. Within our language curriculum, we aim to steer away from the stereotypical thoughts of Spanish culture and embrace the true meaning of what it’s like to speak and live in Spain 🇪🇸. The videos range from school routines, to home routines as well as numbers, food and drink and even songs, rhymes and poems for the children to explore and join in with.
