Back at Falmouth Primary School today for a further assembly and classroom workshops in Arabic with the wonderful Rawda Alater, who arrived in Truro from Lebanon and Syria about six years ago.
There are several native Arabic speakers at the school and they helped today. Here is a Syrian student in Year 6 having a conversation with a classmate - a few easy phrases that the native English speaker learned in minutes.
We had our Arabic language postcards to hand out - and we realised that some children had been practising overnight with siblings we had worked with yesterday.
It was wonderful to see the children's enthusiasm - and eagerness to learn.
