Spanish
At S.M.I.T.H, we understand the importance of providing children with a high quality languages education which should foster children’s curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. We are passionate about giving our children the tools and skills to seize many opportunities in the future which only speaking an additional language can provide. This is achieved through weekly Spanish lessons from EYFS all the way up to year 6. Our Spanish curriculum provides an appropriate balance of spoken and written language, laying the foundations for further foreign language teaching at KS3.
Have a look at some of the things we have been getting up to in our Spanish lessons over in KS2! 🙂
Languages Day
We recently celebrated European Day of Languages but extended it to all languages and cultures to include our whole school community! The children came dressed in colours to represent a particular country or traditional dress from their family’s culture. We learnt lots of interesting facts about different cultural traditions as well as lots of new words from a variety of languages. It was such a great opportunity to embrace our diverse school community and we can’t wait for our next Languages Day! 🙂
MFL Family Learning
Last week, we had our first MFL Family Learning of the year where we explored the five most spoken languages in the world! We did lots of fun craft activities where we created maps of France, Chinese lanterns and even had a go at writing our names in Hindi. We also tried lots of delicious Spanish food and went on a scavenger hunt to find some famous English landmarks! 🙂
