Erasmus Day 2021 - A few of our favourite things

At Whitehouse Common Primary, our Erasmus Day activity was called A Few of our Favourite Things. You can read about it here. Children wrote short notes about their favourite activities so far, and we looked forward to the rest of the project. The memories were made into a video and you can view it here. The song you hear is our special song that was written by Mrs Duckers to welcome our visitors to England in March 2020.

As you can see, learning La Macarena was particularly high in the popularity stakes, but so was the Hello song, and there were several mentions of learning about Austria and memories of the visit to Holy Trinity. 

Here's to more memorable activities as Let's Go Cultural! continues!

Lara's Language Journey Day1-5 Competition

Every day this week we have followed Lara as she has visited the countries of our Erasmus+ project, and learned a little bit of the languages that are spoken.

At the end of the week, here's a little competition to see what you've learned. Can you answer these questions? If you can tell Señora Stevens the answers, you will be rewarded with house points, a certificate and quite possibly a little prize! 

1. Which 5 languages are spoken by the partners in our project?

2. How do you say hello in those languages? (If you know the words to our Erasmus+ song, you know this already!)

3. Which language has one word for he she and it?

4. Which language has a habit of combining lots of words to make one long word?

5. Which of the five languages is spoken by the most people? (According to the statistics given on the posters!)

If you can tell Señora Stevens the answers, you will be rewarded with house points, a certificate and quite possibly a little prize! You can write them down, tweet them or tell her in person next time you see her!

Good luck!     καλή τύχη   Viel Glück     iyi şanslar   ¡Suerte!      

European Day of Languages 2021 at Whitehouse Common

Every year on 26th September people across Europe celebrate languages and cutlure on European Day of Languages. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the day.

At Whitehouse Common we are going to mark the event in a variety of ways.

Each day for the next week Señora Stevens is going to post a page from "Lara's Language Journey across Europe." Watch out for which country and language she is focusing on each day. There will be a quiz! After this week, there will be a post at least once a week with a new language.

In addition, this week in class assembly children will find out about Amal and The Walk, and consider how language - both spoken and non verbal - can be used to welcome. They are being set a challenge to consider how they would offer a welcome to their home, school, community and country. More details will follow later in the week.

Later on in the year we will return to the idea of language when we celebrate International Mother Language Day on 21st February.
