Mother Language/Book Week 2014

We have had a hugely successful Mother Language/Book Week. In all, 13 adults visited us and read stories to us in 8 different languages. Our visitors included fathers, step-fathers and grandfathers; mothers, grandmothers and big sisters. The children really enjoyed it. It was so lovely to see a child's face light up when they heard their "home" language being spoken at school! Some children spoke more during the discussion after a story than we've heard them speak before - what a wonderful chance for these children to express themselves freely using a language they are comfortable with! Other children enjoyed learning new languages and listening to the mother language of their friends.
