European Languages Day

 

Bonjour, bom dia, beunos dias!  This week, we celebrated European Languages Day with an assembly led by Mrs Kothary who is our French subject leader.  It was nice to see children talk about and celebrate the many different languages that they can speak, whether it was an European  language  or from another country around the world.  Children shared that they could speak French, Spanish,   Italian, Greek, Albanian, Ukrainian, Romanian and Polish to name just a few European languages.     Children could also speak Mandarin, Urdu, Malay and Tamal to name just a few more languages from around the world.  Learning another language is very important and research shows that there are many cognitive benefits to learning a language.  It is also a lovely way to learn about other cultures and customs.  Merci beaucoup!
