- UNESCO International Mother Tongue Day- 21st February 2018
UNESCO International Mother Tongue Day- 21st February 201822 February 2018 (by byroncourt) |
UNESCO has been celebrating International Mother Language Day for nearly 20 years with the aim of preserving linguistic diversity and promoting mother tongue-based multilingual education.
Yesterday, children, staff and parents enjoyed celebrating International Mother Tongue Day.
Songs, poems, stories, aspects of culture and language have been shared across the whole school.
Many parents also came into school to help teach children their languages. This has been fascinating as children have had the opportunity to learn new languages and discuss similarities with languages they already know.
We also received visits from the Spanish Embassy - children and staff learnt new songs in Spanish and the Brent Museum - children in 6KJ and 3CP took part in a workshop about Romanian Eggs.
A really memorable and enjoyable day! Thank you to all involved.
