The Council of Europe decided, in 2001 (the European Year of Languages), that the European Day of Languages would take place every year on the 26th of September.
On this occasion, various events take place across Europe in order to spread awareness of the importance of learning languages. These can range from beginners’ classes in various languages, to conferences, as well as various TV and radio programmes.
225 languages are spoken in Europe. Surprisingly, the most widespread language has been Russian, which replaced French in the 18th century.
As part of our work for European Languages day Year 5 chose to learn and embrace the language of Italian.
As part of their activities the pupils enjoyed taste testing several Italian foods: meats, cheese and focaccia bread.
