First year French students have been learning how to talk about ‘Food and Drink’ and, as part of their course, they were asked to devise an unusual and delicious ice cream sundae in French. The responses were outstanding, showing imagination, flair and linguistic competency. After much deliberation, Mr Gardiner, Depute Head Teacher, chose the sundaes he considered best met the criteria for the task, as well as being the ones he would most like to eat! Winners were Jevan Beattie, Alexander Mathieson, and Courtney Connelly of 1A: Amy McCoull, Lucie Macis and Zoe Toms of 1L; Max Watson, Brooke Delaney and Dainis Sroms of 1M and Erynn Hough and Abigail Lees of 1R. Some of the winners are pictured here with their prize – a real ice cream sundae complete with chocolate flake, chocolate sauce and lashings of cream! Miam Miam!
