Senior School Library set up to celebrate European Day of Languages

European Day of Languages took over the Senior School Library on Thursday 26 September - a chance for us to celebrate modern languages across the world.

We had students and staff sharing their languages, going beyond what we offer on the curriculum. Sixth Formers led the tasters. Nico challenged students with a Modern Greek word search, Maya presented conversation starters in Hebrew and Jennifer led the Chinese chopstick challenge. All the students enjoyed the fun activities, such as making German paper fortune tellers, balancing Spanish sombreros and solving French puzzles, as well as having language tasters in Italian, Russian and Japanese. The KS3 Classics Club popped by with their language detectives armed with worksheets, looking for links across the many different languages, between classical and modern, Romance and Germanic, Indo-European and beyond. It highlighted to all of us how many languages are spoken by students and staff within the school community and this is definitely something to be celebrated!
