At Longmeadow we follow Kapow's Spanish scheme of work which aims to instil a love of language learning and an awareness of other cultures. We want pupils to develop the confidence to communicate in Spanish for practical purposes, using both written and spoken Spanish.

Through our scheme of work, we aim to give pupils a foundation for language learning that encourages and enables them to apply their skills to other languages, facilitates further language study and opens future opportunities to study and work abroad.

Kapow Primary’s Spanish scheme of work supports pupils to meet the National curriculum end of Key stage 2 attainment targets (there are no Key stage 1 attainment targets for languages). The Kapow Primary Spanish curriculum aims to provide pupils with a firm foundation of language learning.

For this reason, we have carefully planned and sequenced when to teach the three building blocks of a language system, known as our Kapow Primary knowledge strands:

● Phonics 

● Vocabulary

● Grammar 

Pupils connect these building blocks of knowledge to create meaning in a variety of contexts, allowing them to develop their skills in the following strands:

● Language comprehension: listening and reading

● Language production: speaking and writing
