Yesterday we celebrated International Mother Language Day. We are very lucky to have many families at Barton Hill Academy who can offer us insight into languages and cultures other than our own, so lots of children brought in something to share with their classmates which reflects their own language, culture or heritage. International Mother Language Day is a worldwide annual observance held to promote awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity and promote multilingualism. Article 30 of the UNICEF rights of the child states that ‘Every child has the right to practice their own culture, language and religion’ Aydin brought in a Turkish flag and delicious recipes, Karina brought in Romanian story books, Pufferfish were treated to some Polish chocolates brought in by Oliver and Joel and Yokesh taught his class how to count up to 5 in Tamil to name but a few! Here are just a few of many photos we have of children who relished the opportunity to share their language and culture with us.
