Languages

The language the children learn at St Peters is Latin which also further develops their literacy skills.
Every class from Y3 to Y6 have a fortnightly lesson taught by a specialist teacher.
The specialist teacher’s lessons focus on vocabulary, language forms and grammar. These are then followed up by the class teacher with lessons on historical and cultural understanding.
For example in Y3 the children learn about The Romans and London as a city which was part of the Roman Empire (cultural and historical development) with the class teacher. They will learn vocabulary such as “poeta/regina” and “ amo”; language and grammatical forms such as “subject/verb/object”.
Latin lessons also incorporate the performing arts such as rap, song, creative writing, crafts, dance, drama as learning tools
