Semi-Virtual International Mother Language Day Celebration

MTSSP proudly announce that we will be hosting a semi-virtual event to celebrate International Mother Language Day on Thursday the 24th February 2022 at 10:30 am - 2:00 pm

MTSSP Members and guests are invited to attend the celebration at St Anthony's Hall, 1 Sussex Way, London N7 6RT

Schools will participate remotely via Zoom

Fun Quiz!

We will have a multi-media interactive language quiz with lots of fun questions, including pop songs! The class teacher can get their pupils to vote (suggest having sections on the floor marked A to E and pupils go to their answer section). The teacher will use a mobile phone to tell us the class' answers through a webpage app, competing with the members in the hall as well as other classes.

Jerusalema Dance Challenge!

We are also asking schools to take part in a Jerusalema Dance challenge, where they submit videos of some of their pupils dancing to the Jerusalema song (Videos above show the original song and a dance tutorial). There are lots of examples on YouTube of people throughout the world dancing this including many organisations and professions like police, firemen, teachers, students...you are free to make up your own choreography

Jerusalema Dance Videos need to be submitted on or before the 23rd February to allow us to make a compilation of all the entries

Please contact Tom on 079 20 40 55 65 for any technical or operational queries

All taking part in the quiz will be able to vote for their favourite dance group.

We will choose a winner - but all classes taking part are winners! We will be sending a participation poster to all the classes taking part

The important thing is to celebrate our mother languages and cultures together and have fun doing it!

Happy International Mother Language Day!
