European Day of Languages is an annual event which celebrates linguistic diversity and promotes intercultural understanding. At Preston Street, we are proud of the rich cultural and linguistic heritage which exists within our school community, and we were delighted to be able to celebrate this integral aspect of school life on Monday, 26th September.
In the morning, our P1-4 pupils enjoyed a puppet show based on the book Lapin is Hungry, which is written in both English and French. The show was presented by our Early Years Practitioner Ms Tania Czajka, who co-wrote this wonderful book. We are extremely grateful to Ms Czajka for bringing the story to life in such an exciting way.
In the afternoon, we welcomed a number of parents and carers to all our classes from P1 to P7 for a special European Day of Languages storytelling session. Our special visitors read stories in a range of languages including Italian, Polish, Hungarian, Spanish, German and French. We are very grateful to everyone who volunteered their time to provide this wonderful experience for our children and young people.
Special thanks are due to Ms Czajka, Mr Maclean, Mrs McNeill and Mr. Anderson for organising the above events, and thank you also to all the parents and carers who came to read stories. We are always proud of the amazing community feeling which comes to the fore on days such as these!
