Spanish

The Modern Languages in Primary Schools Initiative (MLPSI) supports the teaching and learning of modern languages in over 530 schools nationwide. It is a voluntary programme and St Luke’s has been chosen to be part of this exciting project because of the many learning opportunities and benefits it can bring to children, teachers and the wider school community.

There are many reasons why the learning of another modern language at primary school is beneficial for children. Research has shown that children who are introduced to other languages from an early age can become more proficient language learners and that learning another language can have positive effects on the learning of other curriculum subjects.

Pupils in 5th and 6th classes are taught Spanish once a week by Ms Guinane and we have a Spanish Cultural Day once a year. Our Spanish noticeboard keeps the school informed with new Spanish words and phrases.
