RECEPTION Pupils from the Launceston Primary Trust (St Catherine's Primary School, St Stephen's Primary School and Launceston Primary School) were invited to the Mayor's tea party at Launceston Town Hall on Tuesday, September 17.

Children spent the morning learning various aspects relating to Cornwall to celebrate International Language Day, which takes place today (Thursday).

Europe Direct offered Launceston Library the chance to use funding for this event in recognition of Cornish being recognised in 2003 under the European Charter for regional or minority language.
