• European Languages Day

  Sat 02 Oct 2021 Mrs Ewens

  Well what a week we have had at Northern!  We have travelled around Europe learning all about different countries.  Here is the country each year group have been learning about.  Have a look at class pages to find out more.

  Malta = Reception

  Lithuania = Year 1

  Belgium = Year 2

  Cyprus = Year 3

  Slovakia = Year 4

  Austria = Year 5

  Estonia = Year 6

   

  Throughout Europe, 800 million Europeans are represented in the Council of Europe's 47 member states and all are encouraged to discover more languages at any age, as part of or alongside their studies. This stems from the Council of Europe’s conviction that linguistic diversity is a tool for achieving greater intercultural understanding and a key element in the rich cultural heritage of our continent. Therefore, the Council of Europe, in Strasbourg, promotes plurilingualism in the whole of Europe. 
  
  At the Council of Europe’s initiative, the European Day of Languages has been celebrated every year since 2001 on 26 September - together with the European Commission.
