Modern Foreign Languages
At Rosehill Methodist, we study Spanish across KS2 as our Modern Foreign Language (MFL)
We use the National Curriculum for MFL coverage and progression, but use the 'Primary Languages Network' scheme to support the teaching of Spanish. This scheme provides a supportive scaffold for our non-specialist teachers and helps to develop subject knowledge.
In line with our school vision, ‘Do everything in Love’, we strive to ensure all children have additional opportunities to learn about other countries, while practising their linguistic skills. In the past, we have had a ‘Languages Day’ in school where all children participated in activities that built on skills and knowledge of native-speaking countries and their customs. The children dressed up and immersed themselves in the culture of the country whilst learning key essentials, for example writing short sentences and phrases, using dictionaries, making comparisons and taking part in conversations.
