Spanish
MFL is an exciting and enriching subject in the curriculum. It brings together creativity and uses a variety of teaching methods to engage and challenge children.
At Archibald, Señora Dunlop teaches a weekly Spanish session to each class from Year 1 to Year 4. The staff in EYFS deliver sessions to the children within the unit.
The children practise the skills and the vocabulary needed to prepare them for the start of year 5, in the middle school. The children will initially practise their speaking and listening skills, and later on they will also practise their reading and writing skills whilst developing their growing knowledge of grammar, phonics, vocabulary and culture.
Our young learners of Spanish gain confidence and a curiosity of languages and cultures different to their own which will be something they can build on in later learning.

Did you know that (as of September 2023) there are at least 74 children within our school community who speak English and at least one other language?
In fact, we have 28 different languages spoken by our school community!
We would love to celebrate all of these languages. Please encourage the children to share words & phrases with their friends.
