The ML Department is organising a trip to the Platform in Glasgow to see German rapper Chefket in concert. Afterwards, pupils will take part in a workshop with the rapper and look at the linguistic importance of his lyrics. The cost of the trip is £4 to cover the cost of the bus. See Mr Kirk for more details and to collect a permission form. Forms are attached to the post.

We had a fantastic turnout for our TeachMeet event on Saturday. Seventy-five modern languages teaching professionals joined us at Chryston High School for a couple of hours of CPD and presentations from leading practitioners.
We would like to extend a special thank you to Chris Devlin, Joanne Sanderson, and Angela Boyd for sharing their experience and insight. Thanks also to everyone who came along and helped make the day such a huge success.
Just a polite reminder to parents and guardians that the next installment (£75) for the trip to Ypres and the Somme is due on 22nd August. Money must be paid directly to Mr Kirk. Please remind your child to bring their payment card.
Yesterday’s concert, held in conjunction with the Goethe Institut in Glasgow, was a roaring success. Over two sessions, P5-7 pupils from our 5 cluster primary schools had the opportunity to take part in an interactive concert in German to reinforce some of the language they have been learning at school.
Pupils sang along to songs, danced the Animal Tango and used props to help their understanding.
Thanks again to the Goethe Institut and Martina Schwarz for helping us to strengthen our transition programme with the primary schools.

This week we say tschüss to our foreign language assistant Juri. Juri has been working at Chryston High School since September last year. We would like to thank him for his work over the session and wish him well for the future. Juri will be spending the summer on Skye before returning to Leipzig to continue his studies in education.
