European Day of Languages follow up

On Thursday 26th September we celebrated European Day of Languages!

To raise the profile of the linguistic diversity we have in Europe, students could participate in two different activities – a Bake Off and/or a Scavenger Hunt. For the Bake Off, they could choose between a recipe for a French Tarte au Chocolat or a German Apfelstrudel and then ready, set, go – they went off to bake and decorate their cakes. As a result, the MFL Department received these pictures of absolutely delicious looking cakes!

Students were also able to participate in a Languages Scavenger Hunt. For this, students had to find the 24 official languages spoken in Europe amongst members of staff. Staff had been given greetings in different languages ahead of the day and were then able to greet students in 24 different languages. By the end of the school day, we had a number of entries from students who did indeed find 24 greetings amongst staff.

Students had a lot of fun that day and put a lot of effort into their baking – we are looking forward to the next European Day of Languages already!
