Radnor House Sevenoaks - Curriculum Overview Spanish Year 7
All pupils are introduced to Spanish in Year 7, and receive two hours of teaching per week. In addition there is an optional club one lunch time a week
which pupils are encouraged to attend. We follow the Heinemann Mira Course, aiming to complete Mira 1 during the academic year. Pupils purchase a
homework “cuaderno” at the beginning of the course to accompany and support their learning and the digital resources can be accessed from home
through the school’s VLE. The course is lively and focuses on the productive skills of speaking and writing. Developing a secure understanding of the
grammar is crucial for success and there is a strong focus on acquiring these skills. At the end of year 7 pupils will be confident in their use of the present
tense of regular verbs, key irregular verbs and will have a good understanding of the simple future tense. They will be able to introduce themselves, talk
about their family, pets, house, town, school, sports and free time.
