Aideen Paul, Principal of The Carrowkennedy National School

The staff and pupils of Carrakennedy NS were absolutely delighted to have been chosen to partake in the Primary School Sampler Module Languages Connect in Term 1. It was a fantastic programme and the children really enjoyed the sessions with Douglas from Westport Language School. This six week pilot project awarded the children an opportunity to explore the basics of French and Spanish in a fun and engaging way. They made great progress in the few weeks and were very proud of all they achieved. The children have developed a really positive attitude towards languages before moving to secondary school. We are hopeful that in the future “Language Connect” will become part of the primary curriculum.
