Djanogly Sherwood Academy

Where Everyone Belongs

Language of the Term

At Djanogly Sherwood Academy, each term we learn a different language and children are given opportunities to develop their spoken skills.  All teachers embrace the selected language of the term and actively encourage the children to say good morning, good afternoon and respond to simple yes/no questions in the given language. Children will be taught languages for 20-30  minutes per week from Year 1 to Year 6. In KS1, children will learn to say simple words, phrases and numbers in the language of the term. In KS2 the focus will be on developing not only spoken skills, but also reading, writing and listening skills in Spanish. 

 

Each term, we celebrate the language and country as well as by having a themed lunch day. This term we will celebrate our diversity on Curriculum Choice Day with our theme "Where in the world....". Our Language of the Term this term is British Sign Language.

 

Every term, 12 key words/phrases are translated for the children.

These are: Good morning : Good afternoon : Welcome : Hello : Goodbye : Yes : No : Please : Thank you : Sorry : Well done : Come here
