“Привет (Hi),
The European Languages day took place on 28th September.
In the morning we were all split into groups and went off and took part in lots of activities, including a ‘Sign Workshop’ and ‘What a surprise’ learn Russian group. In the afternoon, we showed everyone what we had done and some people got certificates.” Laura A - 7J
“We split up into groups and started looking around the school for where we thought there should be signs. Then we started making the signs on the computer and had them laminated."

“We all made a PowerPoints about a country in Europe. Everyone thought this was a good idea because it gave them a chance to create new friends from different forms.. The groups used countries such a Liechtenstein, the Azores, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Malta and Sweden. I asked people what they thought about this activity and here are a few responses: Hannah B 7J

“We organised ourselves into groups, then went to do different activities. The group I was in went to make a quiz, everyone else played the quiz. The 7Js and 7Ks in my group went to do Spanish playground games. “It was very funny” one pupil said.
Then we did French stories and games. We listened to ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’ in French. “It was really interesting.” Hannah F 7R
