KS3 & KS4 Spanish curriculum

In this unit, pupils expand their knowledge of reflexive pronouns by adding 'se' to 'me' and 'te' which they already know. Pupils refresh their knowledge of reflexive pronouns, and contrast them with possessive adjectives to highlight the difference between the two. Traits are covered with 'ser' and location is covered with 'estar' to reinforce the irregular forms of, and difference in meaning between, these two key verbs. Stress patterns are reinforced in sounds of the language.
