We love learning Modern Languages (Primary Languages) at Dunclug Primary School. We also have several language clubs throughout the school year. For example French, German and Spanish.
Each year we enjoy celebrating European Day of Languages. This is a day that we celebrate the diversity of languages spoken across Europe and their ability to open doors to new cultures, perspectives and opportunities.
Our Connecting Classrooms partnership with Kindfund Hope Primary School in Kenya continues to go from strength to strength.
In 2022, we were delighted to be awarded the British Council International School Award for this.
Our older pupils, led by Mrs Spence, are taking the lead with this programme. The partnership programme involves a wide range of activities for pupils of both school to enjoy. Amongst other topics, it looks at the work of UNICEF, the rights of the child and the value of education. It also involves a teacher exchange programme (funded by the British Council) and Mrs Spence ended up teaching (during her summer holidays!) last July in Kindfund Hope PS in remote North Kenya.
Thanks to the British Council for funding this programme - helping our pupils understand the big issues that shape our world and equipping them with the knowledge, skills and attitudes they need to make a positive contribution.
