Dear Parent

World Language Day 2025 will take place on Thursday 23rd October . For those of you who are new to the school or who have never experienced this event, the aim of this day is to celebrate the diversity of language and culture around the world and in particular here at St. Michael's. The hall is transformed into an international market full of the sights, sounds, taste and smells of countries represented by parents and children of our school community. Children visit the market in their classes during the day - once they have passed through passport control!!! It is very much along the theme of a street market. You do not have to "teach the children" but simply share food, facts, music, games, photos and a love of your country and it's culture.

The event runs from  9.30am - 15.20 ( there is the option of doing either a morning or afternoon session) However, if you are able to, I would love the event to run on until 4.00pm this year allowing parents and staff to come along after school to share in the children’s experience.  However, this is not compulsory. If you would like to take part and  share your language and culture with us by setting up a stall in the market, then please complete the reply slip below  and hand it into the office or alternatively contact me by email bbetteridge@stmichaelscofe.co

I  would like to confirm stalls by Friday 3rd October. If you are new to the school and would like to find out more about the event or discuss your ideas then please do not hesitate to contact me. I am more than happy to meet with you to explain in more detail what the day involves. I am obviously completely biased but it is honestly such a fun and memorable day.

Kind regards

Madame Betteridge
