French: Celebrating the European Day of Languages: Italian

 Year 5 celebrated the European Day of Languages today during their French lesson. This is an annual event,  generally celebrated on the 26th of September. 

As we have a variety of languages spoken in our school, a language relevant to a child in each year group was chosen.
