Year 7 Students have had the opportunity to reflect on the work they completed over the first fortnight and to evaluate their knowledge of the topic. In order for us to understand their progress, we have invited students to participate in different games during lesson time. All languages teachers aspire to engage their students in creative interactions in the language they are learning. Therefore, this module, our Year 7 students will need to produce a criteria C assessment (speaking) describing where they live. As always, we allow our students to use their imagination and describe a fictional world. Students will need to produce a video, a podcast or a presentation with a voice over so that they can be assessed in their speaking skills. Please encourage students to practise before recording.

Students continue to work on the concept of “Healthy Living” by exploring what makes a healthy lifestyle and learning how to give advice to others. In order to bring to online lessons the games that we would do in school, Ms Gilmore and Ms Garcia have been encouraging students to join a Google Meet during lesson time to play vocabulary games together. This module students will be assessed on Criteria D, which is a written piece. In order for it to be accessible for all, this will be in the form of a translation completed via Google Forms. Please encourage your child to log onto the Google Meets so that they can stay connected with peers and teachers.

Students continue to show great independence and responsibility by engaging in more challenging work as they approach the end of KS3. They have been exploring how “Culture” and “Education” are interconnected, looking at their prospects for the future. Year 9 work has revolved around Criteria A and B, which are those that develop listening and reading skills. Please continue to motivate your child to engage in memory games, as to build a good foundation for KS4 Spanish. In addition, they are encouraged to take part in activities that will assist them in their language learning journey, such as watching videos and listening to Spanish speaking music.
