KS2 Spanish curriculum

This unit extends pupils’ knowledge of verbs, introducing them to singular persons of some high frequency regular -ar verbs in the present tense. Pupils build on their knowledge of intonation questions, extending the pattern to their growing repertoire of verbs, enabling them to communicate about the activities that they and other do in class and outdoors. Developing their knowledge of nouns and articles, pupils also learn to use singular definite articles ‘el’ and ‘la’ to refer to specific nouns in short sentences that also combine their growing knowledge of irregular and regular verbs.
