• European Day of Language

  Sun 26 Sep 2021

  The whole school enjoyed celebrating European Day of Languages on Friday. The European Day of Languages (EDL) is celebrated across Europe on the 26th of September every year. It aims to promote the rich linguistic diversity of Europe and raise awareness of the importance of lifelong language learning for everyone. It was set up by the Council of Europe and was first celebrated in 2001. 

   

  In mixed year groups we explored why it is important to learn a language and explored three counties, Bulgaria, Poland and Portugal. The children took part in a variety of creative activities to learn some languages and culture information. We started the day with an assembly learning about the history of European Day of Languages and ended celebrating what we had learnt. 
   

  It was a wonderful opportunity for some of our EAL children to become ‘mini teachers’ and share with their peers their language and culture. 

   

   

  

• Recycling Week

  Sun 26 Sep 2021

  We had so much fun this week celebrating and promoting the benefits of recycling. As a school we are creating opportunities for us all to implement positive change that will help protect our planet.

   

  Our Recycling Prefects set to work leading by example picking up rubbish in our playground and garden using our new litter pickers. Elsa, Rosalind and Violet in Year 5 did their own mini fundraising in order to buy litter pickers for the school. 
   

  Ethelbert Road will continue to support recycling and educate our children on how to look after our wonderful planet.

• Proud to stand up to bullying and racism

  Year 5 received a thank you letter from Raheem Sterling, the England and Manchester City footballer. The letter thanked them for their letters of support after the terrible abuse he and other England players received. We are extremely proud of our pupils and the way they tackle bullying and racial abuse. Well done!
