As Linguists, we all enjoyed partaking in European Language Day. There was a lot of new learning not only about France and the French language, which we learn about in Key Stage 2, but also about other European countries. As geographers, the cultural differences were explored along with finding out about the physical geography, flags, capital cities and speaking some of the language spoken.
Here is a taste
of some of the activities that we got up to:-
Class KH enjoyed
making Romanian making Pasca (bread); Class JT tasted French ‘crepes’ and ‘pain
au chocolat’ for their breakfast; Class DR explored Italy; Class CR heard from one of the parents to find
out about Ukraine; Class LHMBr listened to some Polish stories and also tried a
few French cheeses; Class MS focused on the Czech Republic; Class KV compared cultural differences between
several European countries; Class SBJA discovered different ways to say
greetings in different languages and investigated Portugal; Class SBr explored
Sweden creating posters and enjoying a sing-a-long and dancing to Abba; and Class VW concentrated on Germany.
Some classes
made wreaths out of the flags of the countries or symbols linked to the country
and others created posters.
