PPA Cover Ltd Scheme of Work & Lesson Planning Overview

PPA Cover Ltd have developed our own Spanish curriculum, encompassing 36 progressive units, 12 for EYFS & Key Stage 1 and 24 for Key Stage 2.

We match the ability level of your children, taking into account prior learning, and produce a bespoke overview that ensures continuation and

progression for the children to a level to put them in good stead for secondary school. PPA Cover Ltd can deliver Spanish from Year 3 within

schools that focus their MFL provision within Key Stage 2 to meet the mandatory National Curriculum requirements, from Year Reception in

schools where Spanish is a big part of the school’s education ethos, or to specific year groups within school where specialist focus is required.

Within this scheme of work and lesson plan example booklet you will find examples of our schemes of work geared towards schools with very little

prior learning in Key Stage 2 with Years 3 to 6 starting from the same initial point of unit 1 and progressing at different age related developmental

rates through to schemes of work geared towards schools who have an ethos of Spanish throughout the school where children have learnt

Spanish from EYFS or Year 1 and have progressed year-on-year to become highly competent in Spanish in upper Key Stage 2. Therefore, our

schemes of work fit all children’s ability levels no matter their prior learning experience.

PPA Cover Ltd.’s Spanish provision will:

✓ Ensure effective pupil progress through all year groups

✓ Be creative, engaging, and interactive for all children

✓ Raise attainment and enthusiasm in Spanish lessons

✓ Improve speaking, listening, and writing skills through active role play

✓ Help children develop a better understand of Spanish culture through events, trips and celebrations

✓ Differentiate success criteria for pupils of varying abilities

✓ Meet the aims and objectives of all the MFL National Curriculum not only for Key Stage 2, where MFL is mandatory, but also for EYFS & Key

Stage 1 as many schools now encompass a whole school approach to teaching MFL, delivering across all year groups

✓ Be compliant to the New OFSTED Framework

✓ Be Deep Dive compliant

Planning for the delivery of Spanish within a new school

The planning for the delivery of Spanish within a new school works as follows:

1. Firstly, an Operations Manager from PPA Cover Ltd will meet with your schools SLT and/or MFL coordinator to ascertain the prior learning

and previous / current scheme of work your school have in place for Spanish. During this meeting, the Operations Manager will be able to

better understand the prior learning and different ability levels across all year groups.

2. Secondly, the Operations Manager will advise your school on either continuing with the current scheme of work for Spanish or change to

PPA Cover Ltd.’s scheme of work. If you do want to continue with a current scheme of work then PPA Cover Ltd. will adapt and teach from

that scheme of work i.e. Little Linguists, Twinkl, iLanguages, La Jolie Ronde, etc. However, most schools choose to deliver PPA Cover Ltd.’s

scheme of work and steps 3 and 4 are therefore followed.

3. Thirdly, the Operations Manager will agree a curriculum map / Spanish year overview, mapping out the expected progression for the whole

of the academic year.

4. Fourthly, from the Spanish year overview the planning team will compile your lesson plans and a folder containing the planning for each

term will be delivered to your school at the start of each term.

How Our Planning Works

As detailed above, one of our Operations Managers will agree a curriculum map / year overview for Spanish, mapping out the whole of the

academic year. From this year overview the planning department will then compile the lesson plans for each term and these lesson plans are

delivered digitally to the Spanish teacher assigned to the school and printed to the school itself. The new lesson plan folder will arrive to school

termly containing all of the Spanish lesson plans to be delivered during the term, printed Spanish resources, reward stickers and certificates and a

USB flash drive containing interactive PowerPoints, Whiteboard activities and Spanish lesson plans.

The lesson plan folder is accessed by the Spanish teacher each day they are in school so as they can record the feedback and progression of each

lesson (see page 24). The lesson plan folder remains within your school so as your SLT, MFL coordinator, class teacher or OFSTED can have instant

access the lesson plans and children’s Spanish progression at any time. Furthermore, the lesson plan folder is invaluable for if the regular Spanish

teacher is ill for any reason, we would always arrange cover, and the lesson plan folder ensures seamless cover at all times.

Deep Dive Compliant Scheme of Work

All of PPA Cover Ltd.’s schemes or work are Deep Dive compliant and are updated annually to ensure our schemes of work and lesson plans are

always kept up to date with the latest National Curriculum standards.

What To Expect From A PPA Cover Ltd Spanish Teacher

PPA Cover Ltd. specialise in planning and delivering effective, high quality Spanish lessons, that are tailored to the MFL National Curriculum, to

primary schools throughout the UK, for EYFS, Key Stage 1 & Key Stage 2. All our modern foreign language’s teachers are:

• Qualified to deliver language lessons within primary schools

• DBS Enhanced Checked

• Able to teach up to 36 children without the presence of a class Teacher or Teaching Assistant

• Able to make lessons fun as well as structured in order to meet National Curriculum standards

• Each school is assigned a Spanish teacher and this same Spanish teacher will deliver lessons every week throughout the whole of the

academic year ensuring continuity for children and staff.

All Spanish teachers are fluent Spanish speakers and are qualified to take language lessons within primary schools. They are excellent at conveying

their creative teaching ideas to children on a whole class basis, ensuring lessons are differentiated to meet the needs of all children, while

maximising engagement by making lessons fun, as well as structured to meet National Curriculum standards.

¿Más o menos? [More or Less?] How do we compare

numbers? What sort of words do we need? Using the Lesson

Presentation, introduce the comparisons mayor que and

menos que / menos que. Use the More or Less Flashcards and

large digit cards to demonstrate and practise the sentences

physically e.g. Siete es menor que nueve / Ocho es mayor

que tres.

Hagamos una fila de números [Let’s Make a Line of Numbers]

Each child has a Number Card. They tell a partner their

number (Yo tengo el numero...) and ask the question ¿Qué

número tienes? Then put themselves in order in their pairs and

groups, using the target phrases más de and menos de. If

time allows, extend this to combine and reorder in groups or

even the whole class.

Resta [Subtraction] Children use 0-9 dice to self-generate

subtraction calculations at an appropriate

level (given by the teacher but with numbers manageable in

words) and solve these using their standard method. Say the

calculation aloud to partner e.g. Quinientos cuarenta y dos

menos doscientos diecinueve son trescientos veintitrés.

¿Más o menos cuánto exactamente? [How Many More or

Less Exactly?] How can we be more precise

about describing our numbers and calculations than just plus

grand que and plus pequeño que / menos que? use the

More or Less Exactly? Flashcards to teach and practise the

further comparative phrases es ___ más que y es ___ menos

que.
