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.

International Mother Language Day 2026
We recently celebrated International Mother Language Day. A day that is a worldwide event held on 21 February to promote awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity and to promote multiculturalism. The children created projects about a chosen language and came dressed in colours to represent a country that speaks their chosen language. We learnt lots of interesting facts about different cultural traditions as well as lots of new words from a variety of languages. It was also such a great opportunity to embrace our diverse school community.
Here are just some of our wonderful language projects:
Every child who took part in our research project received a certificate!
MFL Family Learning
We also celebrate MFL during Family Learning. During our most recent event, 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! We are looking forward to planning our next MFL Family Learning event.
