Year 4 Pupils Explore the World Through Languages

On Friday 3rd July, The Cotswold School hosted our annual Year 4 Languages Day, welcoming 127 Year 4 pupils and their teachers from local primary schools. The event, organised by Mrs Adams and supported by our fantastic Year 9 Language Leaders, gave pupils the opportunity to explore a variety of languages and cultures through a range of fun, interactive activities.

Throughout the day, pupils took part in making colourful Day of the Dead masks, playing boules, trying French skipping and learning the basics of salsa dancing. They also enjoyed a French-themed snack, kindly funded by the PTA, adding another cultural experience to the day’s activities.

The language workshops introduced pupils to colours, animals, sports and days of the week in Spanish, numbers in Japanese, weather vocabulary in Hungarian and hobbies in German. These sessions encouraged pupils to develop their confidence in speaking new languages while discovering different cultures from around the world.

It was a fantastic day, with the Year 4 pupils demonstrating outstanding enthusiasm, curiosity and participation throughout. A huge thank you goes to our Year 9 Language Leaders for their energy, encouragement and excellent leadership, helping to make the event such a memorable experience for everyone involved.

If you work at a local primary school and would like to take part in future Languages Days, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please contact the school for more information.
