EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGAUGE

To celebrate the ‘European Day of Languages’ pupils took part in a range of activities, including: playing French boules in PE, making French crepes in Home Economics, singing French and German songs in Music, and learning some Gaelic.  Pupils also experienced their Science lesson being delivered in French and German by Dr Gardner whilst in the Modern Languages Department pupils created a ‘Wall of Hands’ around the school foyer of words and phrases in a number of European Languages.   The school Hub staff served a French breakfast to pupils and canteen menus were translated into French and German.   Help was on hand from S1 Gaelic speaker Niamh Miller, native French speakers Steven Vincent (S1) and Charlene Brandt (S2), and from Matei Lupascu (S2) who is from Romania, but is learning French and also speaks Greek!   All pupils thoroughly enjoyed the wide variety of activities and the chance to learn some words in other European Languages.
