One of our P7 pupils led the whole P7 class in a Turkish vocabulary lesson. They learned numbers to 10, some common greetings and colours. They also did some research in pairs about Turkiye’s Republic Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep celebrating and using another language wherever and whenever you can. It helps us better understand the world and create better understanding<\/p>\n\n\n\n
