Burgh Primary School, South Lanarkshire

On Thursday 23rd September 2021 Burgh Primary celebrated European Day of Languages with all pupils being encouraged to dress in the colours of the French or Spanish flags. Across the day all classes took part in a variety of activities including learning some French and Spanish vocabulary, and learning about different aspects of French and Spanish culture. 

The day started with an EDL assembly then our P7 pupils led the learning, delivering fun, interactive lessons to our P1-P6 classes. P1-3 loved learning French colours, numbers and greetings whilst P4-6 enjoyed learning Spanish colours, numbers and days of the week/months of the year. 

Later on in the day each class learned about an aspect of French/Spanish culture including La Tomatina Festival (P4), famous French people (P3a/b) and Pablo Picasso (P6). 

The day ended with a quiz, again delivered by our P7 pupils. All staff and pupils enjoyed the day and can't wait to continue learning lots of French and Spanish across this year. 

Acting Head Teacher, Laura Easton said “By celebrating European Day of Languages we taught our pupils as much of the French and Spanish language as possible. Our pupils had the opportunity to participate in a wide range of activities that integrated language learning with fun. A fantastic day organised by our P7 teacher and pupils!”
