Friday 26th September - European Languages Day - Turkey 

The children explored the culture of Turkey, learning about traditional customs and celebrations. They tasted a variety of Turkish foods, sharing their opinions and rating what they enjoyed most. The class created artwork inspired by the Turkish eye, using their creativity to reflect this important cultural symbol. In the afternoon, the children learned a traditional Turkish dance, completed a quiz to review what they had learned about Turkey, and watched performances from other classes in the hall, celebrating and sharing their understanding of Turkish culture through movement and collaboration.
