As part of the Middle Years Programme (MYP), Year 6 students have started their language studies, learning both Chinese and Latin. Latin students have been working on a languages cube, which allows the students to be hands-on by creating their own visual representation of their language learning. Each side of the cube demonstrates a different aspect of their learning in Latin for the MYP. The ability to communicate in more than one language is essential to the concept of an international education, and promotes multilingualism, intercultural understanding and international mindedness.
