European Day of Languages

3rd October 2025S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

On 26th September, we celebrated ‘European Day of Languages’. We talked about the importance of learning different languages and discussed all of the benefits it brings.

We then took part in a range of activities linked to Spain and the Spanish language. We watched videos about Spanish-speaking countries; completed fact-files; undertook puzzles and wordsearches; practised saying Spanish greetings and even made some flags and Spanish fans.

We decided upon this focus as in Year 6, we now undertake some Spanish taster sessions. It is also useful because many of us will study Spanish when in the comprehensive school. Additionally, Spain is still a popular holiday destination.

We ended the day by taking part in a competition, designing a t-shirt to celebrate the theme of ‘Language opens hearts and minds’.

On 26th September, we celebrated European Day of Languages. We talked about the importance of learning other languages and how we make others feel welcome, even if they speak languages other than English. We then held a poster competition linked to theme of ‘Languages for peace’. Our entries were amazing and it was really hard to select the winners.

Here are the winners from each of our classes . . .

We celebrated European Day of Languages. We talked about the value of learning different languages and about the variety of languages spoken across Europe. We even tried saying hello in lots of different languages.

As part of the day, we held a competition to design a ‘t-shirt’ to promote the occasion. We had such fabulous entries from across the school, but here are the winners – I think you’ll agree that they are pretty wonderful!
