The European Day of Languages was first set up by the European Council in 2001. Now, it takes place every year on 26^th September. It celebrates and promotes language learning and linguistic diversity.

At The Downley School, we decided to celebrate this with an entire week of language activities. This included a Spanish Wake and Shake, doing the register in different languages, taster sessions of European languages that weren’t Spanish and Key Stage 2 visited Key Stage 1 to teach them some Spanish! Everyone really enjoyed the week; have a look in the photo gallery at some of the things we got up to by clicking here
