Modern Foreign Languages
Here are some examples of the brilliant work being produced in Spanish and French. The Hispanic cultural research lesson obviously inspired our students! Miss Wright also received a great video of Kya in Year 7 trying a bit of Flamenco dancing - she was very impressed!
World Book Day Our MFL teachers would love for you to get involved with World Book Day – we challenge you to read and/or listen to a favourite children's story in French or Spanish: https://www.thefrenchexperiment.com/stories https://www.thespanishexperiment.com/stories

Here are two Valentine's day food love poems (in Spanish) created by Year 8 students Keira B and
Megan S. Mrs Aguirre Bernard was very impressed by the creativeness and language used by both!
Mrs Perretta asked her Year 7 Spanish class to design a Carnival mask and they all did a great job -
here are some examples. Mrs Perretta says “Carnival is a world-wide festive season that usually takes
place in February, just before Lent. Festivities generally involve a large parade where the public
dresses up in fancy costumes, wear colourful face masks and there are street bands. Spain has some
of Europe’s biggest and best Carnival festivals (when not in a pandemic).”

World Book Day Competitions
It was World Book Day yesterday - ordinarily the English department hold scavenger hunts in school
which involve lots of our staff dressing up as literary characters and invite authors in to talk to our
students. Sadly with schools still closed we are unable to do things the same way this year.
However! Miss Powell has emailed students in all year groups to ask them to join in with these
competitions to help us celebrate World Book Day at home!
Miss Powell said,
There are three competitions running in school to celebrate World Book Day this year:
a reading challenge a writing competition a book themed cookery competition!
The competitions are open for all year groups (6th form included) and staff can enter the baking
competition too!
The closing date for all competitions is Monday 29th March and entries should be emailed to me:
