Today marks the International Day of Languages. Here at Greswold, we're extremely lucky and proud to have so many pupils who are multi-lingual, with over 30 languages other than English fluently spoken, including:
Arabic | Russian | Hindi | Urdu | Kannada |
Polish | Tamil | Spanish | Tamil | Telugu |
Chinese | Bengali | Gujarati | French | Malayalam |
Turkish | Croatian | Hungarian | Persian | Esan |
Cantonese | Pashto/Pakhto | Greek | Turkish | Sindhi |
Norwegian | Kurdish | Albanian | Marathi | Ukrainian |
With this in mind, it was so important to celebrate today's event. As well as this wonderful display near the main entrance, there is a language focus in school each term as well as an updated Modern Foreign Languages scheme being implemented this year. Finally, after school on a Friday, we have an outside provider (Madame Lamarti) who provides a languages club.
