This year to celebrate the European Day of Languages the Modern Languages department arranged a variety of activities for the pupils.
Our S1 pupils took part in a European treasure hunt, seeking answers from the very knowledgeable Turnbull staff. The S2 cohort participated in a European quiz. They worked in groups and had to identify languages from video clips, songs and film titles. The S3 classes created their own language passport by attending a variety of language lessons presented by our talented and inspiring bilingual pupils. By the end of the sessions they could say basic greetings in French, Spanish, Italian, German, Lithuanian and Polish!
Our S3 and S4 Spanish classes will also be attending the GFT to watch a Spanish film and sample some traditional Spanish tapas at Café Andaluz. In the Senior phase, the S4 Spanish class took part in some rock painting with a European theme. Higher classes enjoyed a foreign language film morning and the Advanced Higher Spanish also took part in a Multilingual Escape room. They had to complete a number of language related tasks and overcome challenges such as “the floor is lava”, “burst the balloons to find the clue” and apply some numeracy skills to solve the number problem giving them the code to the locked box containing the final clue. Congratulations to the winning team Kyle McLean and Eunice Okeyelele. Although there were some sore losers! ¡Lo pasamos bomba!
Many thanks to everyone involved for making this year’s European Day of Languages so enjoyable. Merci mille fois! ¡Muchísimas Gracias!
