While not everyone was able to come on the day, there was plenty of feedback and interest in supporting this kind of event in the future.

The presence of a Japanese exchange student provided an opportunity for the children with Japanese LOTEs to try out their skills, and prompted a similar exchange for those with Italian LOTE.  A highlight of the day was some basic formalized language activity, and it was a joy to observe the enthusiasm with which all the children joined in.

Alessandro, one of the video stars below, gave us this spontaneous vote of approval: ‘The language picnic is cool!’
