Crosshill Primary School

On Thursday 26th September 2019 Crosshill Primary School participated in the European Day of Languages.

Class 1 learned about Germany. They tasted some German foods including cold meat, smoked cheese, pickled vegetables and special chocolate biscuits. Two visitors who could speak German and had visited the country shared their knowledge and experiences with the children.

Class 2 learned about Italy. Children identified important information about the country including where it is located in the world, the weather and interesting facts. They explored Roman Numerals and could identify numbers up to 12. The children completed a problem solving activity where they had to crack the Roman Numerals code and create their own codes for a partner to solve.

The children also created a mosaic pattern inspired by the Romans.

Here are some quotes from the children:

• “I liked learning how to speak and write in German” - Elana
• “I liked trying the smoked cheese, the pickled pickles and the sparkling water” - Hope
• “I enjoyed learning about the Leaning Tower of Pisa” - Charlie
