Languages (Spanish)
Growing Stronger Together in God's Love
Love 
At All Saints’, we encourage children to enhance their communication skills through a love of learning a foreign language, Spanish. Our Spanish curriculum engages, inspires and challenges our children, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to communicate, socialise and express themselves with those around them in a modern foreign language. They learn how the Spanish language has shaped our history, contributes to other cultures and adds to the wealth of our world; they learn to love and appreciate it!
Compassion 
As part of lessons, children are given the opportunity to work collaboratively as a team with their peers. Often they talk about their ideas and processes they have used in their own and others’ work. We strongly encourage children to recognise the strength in their own work and in others’, being kind, understanding and compassionate when mistakes are made.
Koinonia
Children have meaningful opportunities to create a communication bridges in order to learn about another culture and learn the differences and similarities between this and their own one.
Endurance 
In our Spanish curriculum, we encourage children to explore, analyse, communicate and although they may come across challenges in their learning, we encourage children that making mistakes is part of the journey. Through Spanish learning, the students build their resilience, which is the key to carry on growing, in both their academic and personal development. Evidence of their creative journey is seen in their Spanish speaking interaction and books, where they have creative control and the opportunity to reflect and review their work.
As in all of our subjects, as children work through the Spanish unit in hand, they will be given opportunities to explore and be immersed in learning, be explicitly taught skills and learn to apply, and critique, them through our All Saints' Approach: Engage, Skill-Build and Create-Evaluate.
At All Saints', we value the importance of learning a modern foreign language. We recognise that learning a foreign language provides an opening to learn about other cultures and broaden our children’s horizons. Our teaching of Spanish aims to enable pupils to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing. Learning a language fosters pupils’ curiosity and deepens their understanding of the world.
We give children the time and space to engage with learning by allowing them to explore and be immersed in the language. We know children learn another language best by this immersion: watching, listening and practising. It is our intent to progressively build our children's knowledge and skills in order for them to independently create their own spoken and written sentences, conversing and expressing their ideas and thoughts in Spanish.
We begin teaching Spanish in the Early Years, by singing simple Spanish nursery rhymes; exposure to a foreign language at a young age provides the foundation for learning other languages in the future. By the end of Year 6, children will be able to write, speak and understand the language confidently enough to take them on to the next step of their journey and into secondary education.
