Language

Language of the term

In our school, we celebrate being unique and diversity. Each Half Term, we celebrate and learn about a different language because…

• It gives us an opportunity to demonstrate language skills
• We develop respect for each other’s languages and cultures
• We broaden our language and communication skills
• We learn about languages and cultures
• We broaden our understanding of the world around us
• We learn and have fun!

Here are some ideas of how you can learn and celebrate languages:

• Use Newbury Park site to learn key phrases in the language - https://www.newburyparkschool.net/lotm/index.html
• Use SafeTube for counting stories and traditional stories
• Cook or bake food from the country associated with the language
• Find the countries where the language is spoken on the map
• Create flags and posters celebrating the language
• Learn songs in a new language
• Look at what celebrations take place in the country of language of the month
