We are building our language communities within our school by identifying those children who speak another language and giving them opportunities to spend time with the others who speak it too. This gives them time to speak together in their mother tongue which is something the children wanted and asked for. Moving forward, we plan to develop this with our English speaking children too so that they can learn new words and learn about the cultures of other countries.
We have been buying bilingual books in the languages that some of our children speak - our plan is to buy as many books as we can and we will always accept donations! The books tell stories in both English and the child's other language so that they can read with English speakers and those who speak the same language as them.
