During Language Awareness Week, students across different year groups were engaged in a variety of activities aimed at promoting language learning and appreciation.

On Friday 2nd February, we had a special assembly where the Year 6.4 class explained the importance of learning languages. Learning languages is important because it helps us communicate with people from different places and understand their cultures better. It also makes our brains work better and can open up many job opportunities around the world. Learning languages let us keep our traditions alive, and it’s like having a key to explore new countries when we travel. It’s not just about talking; it helps us learn about history, stories, and different ways of thinking. So, when we learn languages, we’re not just learning words – we’re connecting with the world in exciting and meaningful ways!

Cooking with young children can be a fun and educational experience that helps to enhance their cognitive, fine motor, and creative skills. Making pizza is an excellent way to involve kids in the kitchen and help them develop essential life skills. To enhance what we’ve learned in the classroom during our topic pizza we visited a restaurant, and we were pizzaioli for the day. The children made their own pizza, visited the kitchen and ate the pizza they made. This activity helped children to improve their fine motor skills while kneading the dough, spreading sauce and ingredients and also while pre-writing in the semolina. It also helped to enhance their mathematical skills such as counting, shapes, sequence and many more. Above all, it was an enjoyable and engrossing activity.
