At Oak View we are currently using KAPOW Primary as our scheme of working for Spanish.
Kapow Primary’s Spanish scheme of work aims to instil a love of language learning and an awareness of other cultures. They want pupils to develop the confidence to communicate in Spanish for practical purposes, using both written and spoken Spanish.
Through using this scheme of work, the aim is 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 aim is 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
Ample opportunities are provided to ensure that children practise new learning across all four modalities.
