Articulate Language Camps

   On Thursday and Friday of last week the school welcomed the staff of Articulate Language camps, on a mission to promote Modern Languages among pupils at Coltness High. S3 pupils thoroughly enjoyed taking part in day-long workshops in either Enterprise or Film-making with Modern Languages staff. They developed a whole range of creative, linguistic and social skills while at the same time seeing French in a new light! Well done – the finished videos you all created are fantastique!
