Thursday 26th September was World Day of European Languages. We were so lucky in Nursery to have experience of five different languages - Portuguese, French, Spanish, German and Polish.  

Thank you to Henry's mummy who gave us a little taste of Portuguese. She showed us the map of Portugal, it's flag and we said a poem together. 

We read the story "Dora Starts School". There were lots of Spanish words. 

Mrs Lavery helped us to count to 5 in German while we drank our milk!! ☺️

Gerard's mummy told us the different colours in French. We also counted to 5, and we said a poem.
