Buenos días, en Torrisholme escuela aprendemos a hablar, escuchar, leer y escribir español.

Good day, at Torrisholme School we learn to speak, listen, read and write Spanish.

Learning a Modern Foreign Language (MFL) supports an understanding of living in a multicultural society, provides an opening to other cultures and fosters curiosity about the wider world. Learning Spanish in Key Stage 2 provides the foundation for learning further languages at Secondary School. 

We chose for our children to learn Spanish because it is a language that is spoken in 20 countries, with at least 488 million people having Spanish as their first language. Spain is the most visited country by British people, making the language relevant to our lives.

We believe that learning another language gives our children many opportunities in life and we aim for teaching and learning to be engaging, fun and interactive. Language Angel is an online resource used to support teaching of Spanish and includes lots of opportunities for speaking and listening to the language which then supports the children developing their reading and writing skills in Spanish.
