1+2 Language

Learning a new language encourages children and young people to broaden their horizons as they explore the language and its associated culture.  As part of the Curriculum for Excellence Scottish schools learn 2 additional languages. This is know as 1+2.

The study of language plays an important role in all language learning and the development of literacy skills. 

Language skills are developed when there are opportunities to:

• communicate, collaborate and build relationships  

• reflect on and explain literacy and thinking skills, using feedback to help improve and sensitively provide useful feedback for others  

• engage with and create a wide range of texts in different media, taking advantage of the opportunities offered by ICT  

• develop an understanding of what is special, vibrant and valuable about my own and other cultures and their languages  

• explore the richness and diversity of language, how it can affect us and the wide range of ways in which I and others can be creative  

• extend and enrich vocabulary through listening, talking, watching and reading. 

At Poolewe Primary we learn French and Gaelic.
