Spanish at Sacred Heart
Languages are at the very heart of our school. Children are taught to appreciate and respect all cultures and languages and encouraged to share their different knowledge of languages with other children, through Spanish, topic lessons or through taking the register and greeting each other in different languages.
Spanish is specifically taught to KS2;Year 3, 4,5 and 6, using a scheme called Kapow. Lessons are taught weekly by class teachers or our cover teachers, Mrs Abbott and Ms Okwong. Lessons include practical activities, songs and pronunciation videos to support children with listening and speaking skills.
Spanish is the 3rd most common language spoken by our families after English and Tigrinya, we celebrate this through regular cultural celebrations throughout the school, see our Cultural Appreciation page for more information.
See the sub pages below for some fun songs and websites with great games to support your child's learning of Spanish.
