Yesterday, we had a transition afternoon trip to Harlaw. We visited the Modern Languages department and we had 4 different teachers.

Their names are: Miss Maes, Miss Gray, Mrs Adams and Miss Desavoir. In Miss Desavoir’s class we played a famous couples matching games to get to know people from other schools, then we learnt how to order an ice cream in French with 3 different flavours: la pommé, la banane and la fromais (Apple, banana and strawberry).

The next class we went to was Miss Maes’ class and the first question she asked was “What do you say if you don’t understand what someone is saying when your abroad?” You use sign language! We learnt lots of different fruit and what sign to use for them, then we did a fruit rap.

The next class was with Miss Gray where we had to match food with their countries like: bread and butter pudding is from Britain, sauerkraut is from Germany and lots more! It was quite challenging but good fun.

The last teacher we went to was Mrs Adam’s where we learnt the benefits of learning a new language. Some benefits are it improves your job chances and mental health. Overall it was a great trip and I’m sure everyone enjoyed it a lot.
