The Languages project is very interesting because it gives the students attending a chance to learn about their heritage and culture. Moreover they also get the chance to learn about the French, Spanish and Bengali cultures.
The Press Team have noticed that the students are very interested in learning about different cultures and understanding other people’s ways of life. The teachers involved in this project are Mr Regan, Ms Wade, Mr Zakaria and others.
So far in the languages project (Bengali) the students have been learning about their Bengali culture and their identity. The students have been asked to make a Powerpoint presentation to show their backgrounds. One teacher said, “We have asked our students whether they call themselves Bengali, or British Bengali.”
The Bengali group visited a museum in Brick Lane they attended a workshop there on identity. “I really enjoyed the trip. I feel that I got to find out a lot of valuable information.” said Nabila in 9U.
While visiting the languages project (Spanish) the students were engaged in a very thrilling activity. They were taught one of the traditional dances of Spain, the Flamenco. The students had a memorable time dancing. “I really enjoyed dancing with my friends, it was a great experience” said Tahmina from 7Y.
The Press Team were excited about the cooking that was going on in DT 16. The students were cooking traditional Spanish food which smelled absolutely lovely. “The food really made my mouth water.” Said Nadeyah, from the Press Team.
Mr. Zakaria said, “I love teaching languages and culture as it opens up boundaries between cultures. Also you can find out about different types of foods and it helps you to communicate with others.”
There are many fabulous activities happening in the Language Festival programme, and we the Press Team are sure there’s more to come.
