Teaching Romanian in Camborne

 

Great to be back at St John's Catholic Primary School in Camborne, west Cornwall, to teach a few phrases of Romanian - so that children could welcome any newcomers to the school who spoke no English.

Mirabela from Bucharest, who has been working with us since before the pandemic, led the assembly. And she had two willing young helpers who had arrived at the school from Romania just a couple of years earlier, themselves without any English....

We left language postcards at the school so that children could take them home to practise the phrases that they had learned.

A Welcome Song

 

A brand new song composed for our project I PACKED THIS MYSELF - breaking down prejudice and welcoming people from overseas who play such a vital role in the Cornish economy.

This song, written by Cornish composer Lindsay Eddy, is sung here by children at a summer camp in Paul, west Cornwall, in August 2022.
