In compliance with the Scottish Government's 1+2 strategy, this school year we started to deliver West Dunbartonshire's Spanish programme to all classes throughout the school. Our school improvement plan highlights the importance of embedding Spanish learning throughout the school and as a staff we are committed to achieving this, however, no member of our staff, although enthusiastic, feels confident to deliver a robust Spanish curriculum. We, therefore, believe that the attendance of some of our staff at the LFEE immersion course is essential for us to successfully deliver the authority's and Scottish government's aims. We, at Clydemuir Primary, believe strongly that Spanish should not just be a classroom activity but should be embedded throughout all aspects of school life. To this end, we would like to send 8 members of staff on the immersion course – the acting head teacher, the 1+2 language coordinator, 3 other teachers (one each from infants, juniors and seniors), 2 learning assistants and the catering manager. By training such a wide range of school staff we are ensuring that Spanish will be truly embedded in all areas of school life from the classroom to the dinner hall and playground. All applicants are committed to providing training to other members of staff. After the training it is proposed that the attending teachers will provide further in-school training in classroom language and activities to all other teachers and disseminate resources. These teachers would also participate in authority events to share good practices, skills learned and knowledge gained with other establishments.The catering manager will train the whole catering team so that the Spanish language is used during lunch time and at the serving of meals. The menus will be displayed in Spanish in addition to English and there will be theme days with Spanish food on the menu.The head teacher and 1+2 co-ordinator will use their acquired language skills in the delivery of whole school assemblies.Learning assistants will use the skills gained from the course to produce accurate Spanish displays and classroom resources, lead games in Spanish during playtimes and breakfast clubs and support teachers in the modelling of good Spanish practices.We envisage that on completion of the immersion course, as well as being able to further and with increased confidence embed Spanish in the daily life of school we will be able to hold Spanish theme days within school where we concentrate on Spanish culture as well as the language. We hope to be able to invite local schools within our learning community to join us on some of these as well as inviting parents to attend. Links will be established with the Modern Languages department of the local high school. We will hold information evenings and workshops for parents so that they can be more involved in their child’s learning of Spanish. We hope to set up an after schools Spanish club. We, also, wish to establish links with a Spanish school and would regularly communicate via e-mail and skype.Being able to achieve the above would result in the pupils of Clydemuir Primary becoming more motivated and engaged in learning the language. The school approach to the teaching of Spanish will be reviewed and new ideas from the participants of the immersion course will be incorporated into an improved teaching methodology of Spanish. Ideas from this will also be used to influence the teaching methodology of French and German which is currently taught to the senior pupils. Linking up with a Spanish school would allow the children to use their language skills in a real context and would help to promote the idea of global citizenship. The children will have access to authentic Spanish artefacts and resources which the participants will have brought back from Spain. Parents will also gain a wider knowledge of Spain and its language as they will be invited to attend information evenings and workshops where they can work alongside their child on Spanish activities.It is hoped that fostering a positive attitude towards learning Spanish in the primary school will result in our pupils being more aware of their role in the UK, Europe and the world and will understand the importance of being able to communicate with other nations. We hope they will then feel motivated to continue their studies further thus making them good prospects for future employers. Through the funding received and participation of 8 members of staff on the immersion course and all the consequences of this, Clydemuir Primary School have made a huge step in achieving the Scottish Governments 1+2 strategy and our own School Improvement Plan.
