EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Braidhurst High School celebrated the European Day of Languages in a variety of ways last week. In the Modern Languages Department, pupils produced rows of hands and speech balloons with vocabulary and facts from various countries in Europe. They also took part in a Europe Quiz and an online \u2018Who Wants to Be Millionaire?\u2019 game. The winners were Morven House, represented by Greg Campbell and Anna Baxter.<\/p>\n

First year pupils and Fourth Year Modern Languages for Life and Work pupils made German pancakes<\/p>\n

(Pfannkuchen) in the Home Economics department with the help of the German Exchange Teacher, Miss Marie Benzel, Mrs Claire Fox ( Home Economics teacher) and Mrs Eleanor Magowan ( PT Modern Languages). Other activities in the school included pupils playing French Boules with Mr Graeme Marshall in the PE Department; Painting in the style of European artists e.g. Van Gogh with Miss Georgia Galloway in the Art Department; French palindromes and French words used in English with Mrs Maureen Kinnaird in the English Department; Maths puzzles in French solved by S2 in the Maths Department; the study of Albert Einstein with Mr Zaf Hussein in the Physics Department; Chemistry lessons conducted in French and German by Dr Peter Gardner ; computer games and quizzes in European languages carried out by Mr Connor O\u2019Toole and Mr Mark Paterson with S2 in the Business Studies Department, and French mime will be the next topic for the Drama department in October.<\/p>\n

The pupils thoroughly enjoyed their experiences (as did the staff), and they learned a lot about the countries of Europe. They have been encouraged to extend their learning of European culture beyond the classroom and many will attend the Modern Languages Club, which meets on Wednesday lunchtimes, to engage in more activities.<\/p>\n
