KS3 & KS4 Spanish curriculum

This unit revisits possessive pronouns and possessive adjectives as a post-verbal complement with agreement for gender for singular possessors. It builds on this prior knowledge by introducing agreement for number and plural possessors, which pupils use in the context of discussing what belongs to people on holiday. Pupils learned singular reflexive pronouns in a previous unit. Now they learn plural reflexive pronouns 'nos' 'os' 'se', including how to use these pronouns with a reciprocal function. Pupils revisit a variety of grammatical structures to support active recall.

1. En casa: plural present and preterite -ar verbs
2. Nos preparamos: plural reflexive verbs, possessive adjectives and pronouns
3. Relaciones: plural reflexive verbs with reciprocal meaning
4. De viaje con amigos: present and preterite -er/-ir verbs
5. ¿De quién es? Plural possessives '(el) nuestro/vuestro'
6. ¿Cómo te llevas con ellos? Singular and plural reflexives, conversation practice
