Bilingual storytelling
Children in a west London primary school discuss the different languages they use and how in the playground they use a mixture of English and Punjabi. They translate a Meg and Mog picture book from English into Punjabi, discussing how the sentence structure differs between the languages. Punjabi places the verb at the end of a clause. The Punjabi alphabet has more letters than English and is written as 'hanging' from lines, rather than sitting on top of them. The story is also told in sign language.
