¡Hola! Bonjour! Dia duit! Привіт,
SCS will celebrate World Languages and Culture Week from 29th September until 3rd October.
The aim is to promote and celebrate different languages and cultures within our school community, to learn about new traditions and to practise a second language in a fun and meaningful way.
Culture can be viewed through various lenses: values and belief systems; languages; sport; music; art; food; dance; way of life; entertainment, traditions, folklore etc.
This year’s slogan is, “Languages open hearts and minds”.
We would like to invite the whole school community to get involved and speak as much of any language (other than English!) during the week.
Our TYs have been busy organising different activities throughout the week, particularly for our 1st year students.
A few of the week’s highlights are outlined below:
· Music and games: Breaktime playlists and requests in the canteen
· Film: Screening of MFL series and shorts
· Art - First year poster competition. Theme: ‘Languages open hearts and mind’s. A3, deadline for entry 02/10/25.
· 1st year Just Dance! with Flavie
· Sport: 1st year basketball and TY “Champions League” soccer tournaments
· Food – Tapas and Tacos, 6th Year churros, TY Cross-curricular ‘Feast’.
· Festival – a TY mini-Tomatina
· Language and linguistics – Debate in Spanish, ‘Change is good’, All Ireland Linguistics Olympiad puzzles
Everyone smiles in the same language.
