🌎📚 European Day of Languages🌎📚
Fri 29 Sep 2023On Tuesday we celebrated European Day of Languages. Our pupils enjoyed learning about and studying different European languages such as Gaelic, Spanish, Bulgarian and French. They completed engaging activities such as food sampling and talking and listening tasks, as well as making posters, fact files and videos on their language of choice. This learning supplemented the Irish lessons that Key Stage 2 have been enjoying with Ms Gormley this term.
