We are very excited to be celebrating Languages Week Scotland from Monday 31st January- Friday 4th February!

Article 30 of the UNCRC states that we have the right to celebrate and learn about languages and customs.

Every day in our classes we will be learning about a new language and taking part in fun activities linked to these languages.

Monday- German

Tuesday- French

Wednesday- Spanish

Thursday- Chinese Mandarin

Friday- British Sign Language

On FRIDAY 4TH FEBRUARY to celebrate the end of Languages Week, we would like to invite all pupils to come to school dressed in the COLOURS OF A FLAG OF THEIR CHOICE!

As a home learning task this week, we encourage all pupils to create their own flags either imaginatively, or by researching a country flag of their choice.

THANKS! MERCI!  DANKE! GRACIAS!  XIEXIE! ARIGATO! GRAZIE!
