International Mother language Day 2026

This week, the children celebrated International Mother Language Day. International Mother Language Day aims to raise awareness of language, cultural diversity and multilingualism around the world. International Mother Language Day is really important because it helps to ensure that we don't forget about endangered languages. It is an opportunity to celebrate the diversity in languages spoken across the world and the cultural heritage of those who speak them. 
 

The children completed several activities throughout the day, as well as learning to say hello in a range of different languages and speak to their class mates about the languages they speak at home. All children were respectful of each others languages and were very resilent when trying to speak in a different language to their peers.
