On Wednesday we celebrated European Day of Languages. We used some of our French and Spanish and we also started learning German (just for fun!). We practised saying the numbers from 1-20 and then played some number games. Miss Greig told us all about her trip to Paris and she brought us some treats!  In the afternoon we had a food tasting with a selection of foods from France, Germany, Spain, Belgium and Italy. Rowan also brought us in some Indian snacks to try! Sri is going to teach us some Indian and Silvester is going to teach Lithuanian.  We researched European countries and read some dual language books.
