The European Day of Languages took place on Thursday 26th September, and pupils took part in various educational, fun activities in the Modern Languages department. S1 pupils enjoyed putting their general knowledge to the test on countries, capital cities and flags. They also competed in an Inter-house competition of ‘Who wants to be a Millionaire’ on European culture with 1A and 1R winning the most points for their house group.
S2 pupils got competitive in the European quiz with questions relating to sports, music, and culture among many other things. 2M were the winning house group in this quiz. Pupils in S3 were given the task of choosing a word or phrase and translating it into as many European languages as possible. Well done to Shannon Crawford who won best poster with the phrase ‘never give up’.
Teachers around the school also celebrated the day wearing badges that said hello in various European languages. We had a Guess the Language competition where pupils had to find teachers wearing the badge and identify the language. Congratulations to Mary Onwubiko in S4 who won the competition! Well done to all pupils for taking part!
