Modern Foreign Language (Spanish)

At Campsbourne we teach the National Curriculum for Modern Foreign Languages which can be found here.

We aim to ensure that language skills are developed and used across the whole curriculum and to promote the personal development of every child by providing them with an equal opportunity to develop their skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing. In particular we aim to;

• Foster an interest in learning another language
• Introduce young children to another language in a way that is enjoyable and fun
• Make young children aware that language has a structure and that the structure differs from one language to another
• Help children develop their awareness of cultural differences in other countries
• Develop their speaking and listening skills
• Lay the foundations of future study

We use Language Magnet which provides children with a structured and progressive programme which, over time, enables children to begin to speak, read and write independently.
