KS2 Spanish curriculum

Pupils will already know singular forms of -er and -ar verbs, including ‘hacer’ to make, do. In this unit, verb knowledge is refreshed then extended to plural first and third persons. Statement and question patterns are secured before negation with ‘no’ with singular verbs is introduced, an important development in communicative range. Further development in language use stems from the conjunctions ‘también’ and ‘pero’ which allow pupils to produce compound sentences. Cultural knowledge of festivals is significantly developed through the comparison of Las Fallas and Guy Fawkes.
