Aims
The national curriculum for languages aims to ensure that all Barnabas Oley pupils:
- understand and respond to spoken and written language from a variety of authentic sources
- speak with increasing confidence, fluency and spontaneity, finding ways of communicating what they want to say, including through discussion and asking questions, and continually improving the accuracy of their pronunciation and intonation
- can write at varying length, for different purposes and audiences, using the variety of grammatical structures that they have learnt
- discover and develop an appreciation of a range of writing in the language studied
National Curriculum Requirements
In Key Stage Two, Barnabas Oley pupils are taught to:
- listen attentively to spoken language and show understanding by joining in and responding
- explore the patterns and sounds of language through songs and rhymes and link the spelling, sound and meaning of words
- engage in conversations; ask and answer questions; express opinions and respond to those of others; seek clarification and help
- speak in sentences, using familiar vocabulary, phrases and basic language structures
- develop accurate pronunciation and intonation so that others understand when they are reading aloud or using familiar words and phrases
- present ideas and information orally to a range of audiences
- read carefully and show understanding of words, phrases and simple writing
- appreciate stories, songs, poems and rhymes in the language
- broaden their vocabulary and develop their ability to understand new words that are introduced into familiar written material, including through using a dictionary
- write phrases from memory, and adapt these to create new sentences, to express ideas clearly
- describe people, places, things and actions orally* and in writing
- understand basic grammar appropriate to the language being studied, including (where relevant): feminine, masculine and neuter forms and the conjugation of high-frequency verbs; key features and patterns of the language; how to apply these, for instance, to build sentences; and how these differ from or are similar to English

Spanish Resources
Our partner school, Comberton Village College (CVC), teaches Spanish to Year 7 pupils, therefore, at Barnabas Oley, we also concentrate on teaching Spanish as our main language.
Years 3 and 4 are taught Spanish by their class teachers and Years 5 and 6 are taught by a native Spanish teacher, Señorita Vazquez-Valero from CVC.
Comberton Village College have kindly provided links to their classroom Spanish resources/workbooks, which parents and pupils may find helpful. Please click the appropriate year group below.
