Language and Culture Week

June 03, 2015
Language and Culture Week was a busy and exciting time for our globetrotting pupils. Equipped with passports, each child travelled around the world to learn about at least 10 countries. Our pupils moved out of their usual classrooms to be taught by different teachers as they participated in a range of enriching cross-curriculum activities. Each activity was designed to teach a greater appreciation of another culture. In addition, all Key Stage 2 children took part in an Aboriginal workshop by artist Stephen Rowley, all Reception and Key Stage 1 children learnt Bollywood dancing with Foster's School of Dance and Year 6 opened their very own French Café that was visited by all pupils.

The children explored the Amazon Rainforest, experienced the energy of a carnival dance, created vibrant art inspired by other cultures and much more. Language and Culture Week came to an end with a whole school assembly. Our pupils relived their travels by watching a video of the week's activities, excited to see themselves on screen and be reminded of the fantastic journey around the world that they had shared.
