European Day of Languages

Mon 25 Sep 2017

Greswold celebrated the European Day of Languages with a day of themed activities. Miss Nock, who is in charge of Languages at Greswold, started the day with a special assembly. The school all then mixed up, with children from Years 1 to Year 6 learning about different European languages (including Welsh). Everyone came together in the afternoon for our very own Eurovision competition when each group could perform a song in the language they had been learning. It was a lovely afternoon and the the winner was decided to be Greece. Many thanks to all the teachers who worked hard to make the day a memorable one for our pupils and to the children and parents who shared the other languages they speak.
