As a whole school, we have completed a week’s worth of fun activities designed to celebrate the different languages spoken in Beancross and the different cultures of our children. I developed a grid of activities that work across 1st and 2nd level CfE, spanning Literacy, Mod. Languages, Expressive Arts, Numeracy, Social studies, Art and HWB. Every day, classes chose activities and then completed their challenge(s). Every class will get a certificate presented in assembly to celebrate their hard work. Children with EAL and enthusiastic language learners also put on a wonderful Eurovision-style show on Friday. The whole school enjoyed amazing performances in: Yoruba, Ukrainian, Slovak, French, Greek, Urdu, Zulu, Arabic, Afrikaans, Scots and Shona. Performers will receive a special award and badge to mark their achievements and status as language leaders.
