Languages and International Blog

Welcome to our Languages and International Blog. At Bridgewater, we have chosen Spanish as the language we teach, as it is widely spoken. This is taught to all children in years 3 to 6 by Mrs D'Agostini. We engage the children through playing games, singing songs and stories as well as developing their grasp of grammar and the written language. Please celebrate the children’s learning with us by commenting on the blog posts below. ¡Hasta luego!

We have been accredited with the International School Award (ISA) 2022-2025 in recognition of our international focus. We were praised by the British Council for our commitment to embedding a rich and creative range of international work.

Spanish around School

This term, children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 have had an opportunity to join in with Spanish songs to practise colours and numbers. The songs helped them begin learning the colours and use them in activities including colour by number and tile designs. It has been a delight hearing the children saying Spanish words and greeting others around the school!

Forest School and Outdoor Learning

Having been on a recent ERASMUS visit to Sweden, Mrs Wise and Mrs Beirne shared their knowledge of Forest School and outdoor learning with Bridgewater staff on our INSET day. We had the opportunity to learn about the many benefits to children of taking learning outside and acquiring a range of skills. We participated in many activities including fire lighting, using tools including hammers, making knots and building shelters. At the swale, we did pond dipping and leaf printing. We were able to see how we could use our amazing outside space when delivering our curriculum!
