What Your Child Will Learn at Our Spanish Summer Club

Our Spanish Summer Club combines fun, meaningful activities with structured language learning. Children learn and improve their Spanish through communication, games, creative workshops, role-play, songs and hands-on activities.

Throughout the summer, we build on a core set of everyday language skills while introducing new vocabulary, useful expressions and communicative functions through different weekly themes.

Core Spanish Skills Practised Every Week

These essential skills are revisited throughout the Summer Club, helping children build confidence, reinforce what they already know and gradually become more independent Spanish speakers.

• Greetings & introductions – greeting others, introducing themselves and getting to know their classmates.

• Daily routines & useful expressions – understanding and using everyday phrases and essential Spanish for real-life situations.

• Days, dates & calendar – talking about the day, date, month and upcoming events.

• Weather & seasons – asking about and describing the weather.

• Time & numbers – practising numbers and learning to understand and talk about time.

• Everyday communication – asking and answering simple questions, expressing needs and participating in conversations.

Vocabulary & Communication Topics Explored Throughout the Summer

Depending on the week, children’s ages and their existing Spanish level, we introduce and develop different topics and communicative functions, such as:

• Colours, body parts & descriptions – identifying body parts, describing people and things, and using adjectives.

• Food & drinks – naming foods, expressing likes and dislikes, talking about meals and practising how to order in a restaurant.

• Shopping & everyday situations – learning useful expressions for shops, markets and supermarkets.

• Summer & beach vocabulary – learning words and phrases related to the beach, summer activities and holidays.

• Clothes & personal belongings – naming clothes and everyday items and describing what we wear.

• Animals & nature – talking about pets, sea life and the natural world around us.

• Family & home – describing family members, rooms and familiar surroundings.

• Feelings, preferences & opinions – expressing emotions, saying what we like or dislike, and sharing simple opinions.

• Songs, stories & creative activities – developing listening comprehension, vocabulary and pronunciation through engaging activities.

• Traditional Spanish games & cultural expressions – discovering games, expressions and traditions while using Spanish naturally.

Learning Progressively Across Multiple Weeks

Each additional week gives children more opportunities to practise, consolidate and expand their Spanish. New topics and activities build on previously learned language, with grammar introduced naturally through meaningful communication.

• 1 week: develop or reinforce essential vocabulary and everyday communication skills through a varied programme of games and activities.

• 2 weeks: consolidate the basics and explore additional vocabulary, expressions and communicative situations, such as ordering in a restaurant or shopping, depending on the weekly programme.

• 3 weeks: build on previous learning, develop longer exchanges, improve listening comprehension and use a wider range of language with increasing independence.

• 4 weeks: reinforce and broaden vocabulary and grammatical structures, communicate more confidently and apply Spanish across a wider range of everyday and creative situations.

Every Week Is Independent – and Every Week Builds on the Basics

Children can join for any week of the Summer Club without having attended previous weeks. Each week offers a complete programme of activities, with its own themes and learning opportunities.

At the same time, essential Spanish – including greetings, introductions, daily expressions, the date, weather and time – is practised every week. This repetition helps children remember and use the language more confidently, while new vocabulary, communicative functions and grammar are gradually introduced through different activities.

Whether your child joins for one week or several, they will have opportunities to learn, practise and improve their Spanish while making friends and enjoying a summer full of activities.
