DESIGN A POSTER COMPETITION

Can you design a poster for The European Day of Languages?

All entries need to be handed in to the French Department by 22nd of September, so get your paints or felt-tips out.

DRESS UP IN TRADITIONAL COSTUMES

Why not enter into the spirit of the day by dressing up in a traditional costume?  Remember this isn't a day for jeans, so it is traditional costume  or school uniform.
There will be a 50 pence voluntary contribution.

GUESS THE NATIONALITY OF THE TEDDY BEAR

You can win yourself a teddy bear if you can tell us where he came from.

LOOM BANDS FOR SALE

These will be in the colours of the flags of Europe.

FOOD FROM OTHER COUNTRIES

Try out some food that you may not have experienced before.  Tell us what you think.

JOIN IN THE DEBATE

People from other countries are more confident speaking other languages than we are in Britain.  Do you agree with this comment?
Have your say.

How can we get more people to learn another language in Britain?  Do you have any ideas?

Do you have any experiences of speaking another language when you were on holiday?

Here's one for the parents only - How can you support your child when she is learning another language?  Share your ideas with other parents.

REMEMBER, IF WE JOIN IN WE LEARN.
