Friday 26th September
As you will know from Dates for your Diary, this Friday (26th September) is a busy day!
We will be celebrating European Day of Languages in school and then after school we have Macmillan Coffee Afternoon.
European Day of Languages
There will be a range of activities for children to learn more about the country and culture of France as well as practise their French.
Children may dress in the colours of the French flag – red, white and blue – for the day. (If they only have clothes in one or two of these colours, that is absolutely fine!)
It is the 25th anniversary of European Languages Day and we are participating in singing an anthem for the day. We would like to video the children singing ‘Voices of Europe’ and submit it to be part of a multi-lingual project. More information on the song can be found via this link:

Please feel free to listen to and practise the song at home.
If you have not given consent for your child to be filmed previously and wish them to be please contact Mrs Walters – h.walters101@laurelavenue.durham.sch.uk or via Class Dojo.
