“With languages, you are at home anywhere.” – Edward De Waal
At Colebourne, we begin to introduce different languages from the start of the children’s journey in the Early Years. From different ways to say ‘Hello’ and greeting each other.
The MFL curriculum begins officially in Key Stage 2, from Year 3. We teach Spanish at Colebourne, as this is one of the languages taught in local secondary schools so that there is a consistent link when children leave us in Year 6.
During the delivery of our Spanish lessons we aim to develop a curiosity about the world beyond that of the United Kingdom. We want to broaden their knowledge and experience of other cultures, establishing an understanding and an awareness of the similarities and differences in our world.
Our teaching of Spanish focuses on establishing a solid foundation where there is a balance between both spoken and written Spanish and learning about the lives and culture of our Spanish neighbours. We aim to equip our pupils with the skills necessary to become respectful, responsible, global citizens upholding our British Values and linking these to other cultures
