Year 6 Celebrate NE Festival of Languages

Year 6 recently took part in the NE Festival of Languages, an annual celebration that promotes learning and appreciation of different languages and cultures in the North East of England.

Children enjoyed three short food- related films from around the world, exploring cultures, communities and languages. They learned how meals are more than just something we eat—they reflect traditions, family life, celebrations, and identity. They saw how tradition and culture are highlighted through recipes, cooking methods, and special meals passed down through generations. They also learned that food plays an important role in festivals and gathering and recognized that sharing and kindness were recurring themes in all stories, showing how offering food can be a way of welcoming others and building connections across cultures.
