Language Ambassadors
In the lead up to National Talk Like Shakespeare day, coming up on Tuesday 23rd April (William Shakespeare’s birthday) the language ambassadors got together this week to learn a bit about the history of the English language and Shakespeare's impact on it. They realised just how much of his language, and particularly, his phrases he created are still very much in use today - like 'all that glitters is not gold' or 'I have not slept one wink'. We also practised speaking in old English accents for a bit of fun too!
Next week, in their classes, the language ambassadors will support their class teachers in teaching about William Shakespeare and his linguistical impact on the English language. The activity the whole school will be taking part in will be for children have the chance to learn about how to create their own wonderfully verbose Shakespearean insults - what better way to celebrate the Bard!
