Curriculum Overview

Key Learning

 

The Intent of our Languages Curriculum

The teaching of Latin in Key Stage 2 at The Cathedral Catholic Primary School will provide an engaging, inspiring and challenging course of study. It will provide a foundation for understanding and exploring stories and culture from another period of history and a deeper understanding of our English language.

The Implementation of our Languages Curriculum

At The Cathedral Catholic Primary School, Language teaching is planned using the ‘Minimus, Starting Out in Latin’ resource by Barbara Bell. Children are taught the skills to listen attentively to spoken language and show understanding by joining in and responding; explore the patterns and sounds of language through songs and rhymes and link the spelling, sound and meaning of words; engage in conversations and ask and answer questions; speak in sentences, using familiar vocabulary, phrases and basic language structures; read carefully and show understanding of words, phrases and simple writing; appreciate stories, songs, poems and rhymes in the language. This is all carried out using a varied and imaginative curriculum that is differentiated and supported to engage children at their levels of ability.

The Impact of our Languages Curriculum

Children have an interest and enjoyment of learning about another language and culture that builds from years 3 to 6.. An appreciation and understanding of our history, and the etymology of parts of our language, will help to provide a grounding for future languages learning at KS3.
