Pupils celebrate European Day of Languages

04.10.2023

Staff and pupils from South Walney Junior School immersed themselves in the language, cuisine and colours of the continent for European Day of Languages.

Each year group chose a different country – Year 3 France, Year 4 Italy, Year 5 Belgium and Year 6 Spain – and challenged themselves learning new vocabulary and trying foods associated with the country. They also dressed in the colours of the flag.

Zena Lines, who is headteacher of the school which is part of South Cumbria Multi-Academy Trust, said it had been a great day celebrating languages and the importance of studying them in school.

“We celebrated all we had learnt throughout the day with a whole school assembly where we shared our artwork and demonstrated our knowledge of the vocabulary we had learnt, including songs.”
