At Norfolk Community Primary School we are proud to have a number of children and staff whose first language is not English.

To help us to find out more about one another, our languages and cultures and  give us all the opportunity speak to more people and therefore make more friends we have decided to introduce a Language of the Month, featuring languages spoken by children within our school.

There are many reasons we should know about each other’s languages, including the following:-

• To give bilingual children the opportunity to demonstrate their language skills

• To enhance the status of bilingual children

• To show respect for each other’s languages and cultures

• To give parents the chance to be actively involved in their children's learning

• To broaden the language skills of all the children and staff

Each month we will introduce a new language that is spoken by children in our School.  We believe it will give children the opportunity to show respect for each other’s languages and cultures and it will also give us all the opportunity to broaden our skills!

We hope you have fun learning new key words and phrases in different languages from around the world.
