A Christmas Market
Frohe
Weihnachten! Joyeux Noël!
A huge thank
you to our German tutor, Eva and our French Tutor, François who helped to run the MFL Christmas Market stall this
week, enabling students in Years 7 and 8 to experience this aspect of culture
and tradition.
Students got
the chance to experience the taste and smell of traditional Christmas food, such
as waffels, crêpes, double chocolate biscuits and Lebkuchen (gingerbread
biscuits) which are all typically sold at the Christmas Markets in France and Germany.
Students
ordered their preferred food in German or French, before paying the correct
amount from their plastic euros. They did an excellent job of interacting with
the market sellers and ordering and paying for their snacks in target language!
Year 7
students have also been learning about the 1914 Christmas Day truce and some
got to re-enact the moment when fighting ceased and gifts were exchanged
between the two sides.
Congratulations
to Robert from 7NBI who won the MFL Christmas competition and Tudor from 7JDO
who won a Weihnachtswichtel (Christmas elf) as part of the German Christmas elf
tongue twister competition!
Congratulations
to Caitlin, Laura and Layla who all achieved 100% in the recent Year 11 exams.
Finally, a
thank you to all the Year 10 Language Leaders for their hard work and positive
contributions towards the development of ideas and resources in MFL this term.
