Mother Tongue Week at Paikuse

Mother Tongue Day, which marks the birthday of Kristjan Jaak Peterson on March 14, one of the founding fathers of Estonian poetic tradition, was first recognized as a national holiday in 1999. It is now celebrated not only in Estonia but in many Estonian Houses, schools and universities all around the world.

Hundreds of larger and smaller events are held in Estonia and abroad to mark the occasion, including a traditional dictation in ERR's Vikerraadio.

The Mother Tongue Day events in our school.
On Tuesday there was a wordsearch competition . Two members from each class could participate in the competition.
On Wednesday there was a Võro language lecture. 

Võro (Võro: võro kiilʼ [ˈvɤro kʲiːlʲ], Estonian: võru keel) is a language belonging to the Finnic branch of the Uralic languages. Traditionally, it has been considered a dialect of the South Estonian dialect group of the Estonian language, but nowadays it has its own literary standard and is in search of official recognition as an autochthonous regional language of Estonia. Võro has roughly 75,000 speakers (Võros) mostly in southeastern Estonia, in the eight parishes of the historical Võru County.  These parishes are currently centred (due to redistricting) in Võru and Põlva counties, with parts extending into Valga and Tartu counties. Speakers can also be found in the towns of Tallinn and Tartu and the rest of Estonia.
