Linguistic diversity is an important resource to be recognised, valued, used and cherished. Language learning brings benefits to all ages – no one is too old to learn a new language and enjoy the opportunities it opens up. Learning other peoples' languages is another way of helping us to understand each other better and overcome our cultural differences.
Keeping this in mind, various Spanish classes were involved in making the celebration a success.
Every S1 pupil had a homework task to write a story about a “Linguabat”, a bat that travels across Europe learning languages. Staff throughout the school participated in their own departments in a variety of ways and in several languages. The main event was a buffet, made by the Spanish Higher class, containing foods from lots of European countries. A big display that included posters, flags, pictures, regalia etc and some S5/6 pupils dressed in national costume (or at least parts of some outfits) and they all looked great! We played Spanish music and some pupils could be heard singing along! Our young people had a really good time tasting some of the different foods that were on offer.
