Across the ISH primary classes, we have always encouraged and facilitated the skill of translanguaging. Now during online learning, students independently and intuitively initiate translanguaging in many subject areas such as the IPC and Writing Workshop.
Have a look at these great examples from Y2 and Y6.
 |
| Ingrid’s response to the padlet on transport. She listed different forms of transport in all the languages she knows and then grouped them to show if they are used on land, sea or air. |
 |
| Y6 student using Italian and English to create a presentation about a famous river in Italy. |
 |
| In Writing workshop, Ingrid in Y2 also created a non fiction book about languages. This linguistically capable student values her language knowledge and knows why using them all is important. |
