Well every year it comes upon as if we don’t know that it’s the 26th of September! So here at West Calder High School, aka last minute.com, we managed to pull off another spectacular celebration of European Day of Languages.
Some S1/2 pupils were treated to a lovely French breakfast on Monday morning while they enjoyed the great EDL quiz hosted by our ML teachers in fancy dress. Several countries represented in costume by the ML staff and our fantastic colleagues in the Humanities & Languages Collaborative. One English teacher even managed to dress in a Basque costume, testing us out to see if we knew it was the oldest language in Europe. Eh...of course we did!
We managed at the last minute to dig out our photo booth materials from a previous year and enjoyed the fact that we could celebrate in such a way again. I think perhaps the ML staff enjoyed the photo booth a bit too much!
For the rest of the week we have continued to learn facts about languages and have completed the quiz with great enthusiasm - the Disney songs in different languages was a particular highlight for Mrs McLean who seemed to think she had to sing along...no?!
All in all it’s been a great opportunity to celebrate languages, to have some ML fun again and to find an excuse to dress up. Bis nächstes Jahr - West Calder High School will be ready for you EDL 2023!
