To commemorate International Mother Language Day, which was on the 21 February, the students of the MYP participated in various activities during their English lessons. The activities were all connected to the units they are currently covering in the subject. The MYP 1 students created a language appreciation gallery in which they presented excerpts from autobiographies and biographies written in their mother tongue. The MYP 2 pupils explored and read myths from their countries and wrote short summaries of the myths in their mother tongues. And, lastly, the MYP 3 students, together with the visiting pupils from the Wotton House International School, wrote imaginative fiction stories in which their mother tongues had magical powers. We have learnt that we can all contribute to ensuring that our mother languages continue to thrive by using the languages through reading, writing and speaking.
