Mixed-age Year 3/4
Lower Key Stage 2 Spanish lessons tailored to the needs of a mixed-age setting. The lessons follow a 'Cycle A' and 'Cycle B' format to ensure progression of skills and knowledge across the age range. Please see our mixed-age long-term plan for the advised unit order delivery.
Mixed-age scheme guidance
The Spanish mixed-age scheme is taught as a two-year cycle (Cycle A and Cycle B). Pupils can start with either cycle as both cycles reflect the same key knowledge and skills to ensure progression.
Pupils in Year 5 can start the Year 5/6 cycle even if they have only completed one year of the Year 3/4 cycle. The first unit of both cycles has been created to allow children to revisit cognates, create simple statements and explore word order, numbers and opinions. This supports all children, but especially if they haven’t completed the Year 3/4 cycle.
See the Mixed-age long-term plan and Progression of skills and knowledge – mixed age documents for more information about teaching Spanish to mixed-age classes.
