The celebration of European Day of Languages (EDL) on 26 September has now become an annual event in Sgoil Lionacleit. The day aims to celebrate the rich and diverse culture behind each and every language spoken in the world and to show people across Europe how important languages are, and what fun can be had learning them.
On the day, students at Sgoil Lionacleit were once again involved in a range of activities both within and outside their languages lessons. S1 were asked to find 10 adults who could exchange a greeting with them in a language other than their first language; those who did received a merit. This year in our classrooms and corridors you could here Welsh, Swahili, Arabic, Inuit and Mi’kmaq, to name but a few!
We also developed our activities this year to include our some of our primary feeder schools. Mrs Carter and the S5 German class visited Balivanich, Lochmaddy and Paible Schools and delivered a workshop about EDL which included sharing phrases in German, French and Gaelic. The S5’s were extremely impressed by the enthusiasm for languages and exemplary behaviour of the primary pupils. Mrs Carter was extremely impressed by the maturity and enthusiasm of the S5 pupils!
