This year – for once – EDL was on a school day; Tuesday 26/9/23.  So we were in step with the whole of Europe.  Our BGE pupils were all busy doing EDL activities – S1 had a treasure hunt, S2 had a quiz and S3 were making posters of unusual idioms in foreign languages.  We also had a food tasting of various items from  European countries at lunchtime, and many pupils came and tried, among other things, camembert cheese , German sunflower bread, tortilla, pesto pasta and much else.

 

 

 

Mrs O’Neill held her, now famous, Bush Tucker Challenge, where brave volunteers were blindfolded and tried tastes of 5, rather more unusual, foods, like sauerkraut and olives, with a prize for not spitting any out.  Lots of adventurous palates out there!  Well done to everyone who took part; more photos to follow.
