Celebrating International Mother Language Day: A Joyful Celebration of Culture and Diversity
This year, our school came together to celebrate International Mother Language Day in a truly special way. Children and staff embraced the occasion by dressing in their beautiful cultural outfits, creating a vibrant and colourful display of the diverse backgrounds that make up our school community. The day was a testament to the importance of language, heritage, and the power of sharing cultures.
In the week leading up to the celebration, we were fortunate to welcome parents into our classrooms to teach the children phrases from their native languages. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn directly from members of our community and gain insight into different languages and traditions. One memorable phrase that stuck with many of the children was "Jashan Mubarak", which means "Happy Celebration" in Urdu—perfect for the joyful occasion!
These sessions were more than just language lessons; they were moments of connection, where children asked questions, learnt about different customs, and gained a deeper appreciation for the rich cultural diversity around them.
