European Day of Languages - 26th September 2022

On 26th September 2022, Year 5 took part in the European Day of Languages by learning about Poland. We researched and discussed various geographical and cultural aspects of Polish life and combined them into a fact-file about Poland. 

We also tried various Polish foods such as Kopykta (Polish Potato Dumplings) and had a platter of Szynka (ham) and Mlekovita (gouda cheese). Da iawn Blwyddyn 5!
