German Christmas Biscuit Baking
Year 7 students were given the chance to bake some
traditional German Christmas biscuits with Wencka, our German tutor.
First of all students had to work out the German words for
each ingredient before having a go at translating the baking equipment and task
instructions.
Students worked very well together in creating their festive
biscuits and Wencka was impressed by their baking skills, team work and
efficient tidying up!
It was difficult for Wencka to pick the Masterchef German
biscuit baking champion 2021 but this accolade went to Harrison.
Congratulations also go to runners up Chloe and Amber. Well done to everyone
who took part!
Thank you to Mrs Vadi for letting us use her Food room and
the German team for their support at the session.

Frohe
Weihnachten! Joyeux Noël!
A huge thank
you to our German tutor, Wencka and our French Tutor, Léanne who helped to run the MFL Christmas Market stall this
week, enabling students in Year 7 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 7WM (French) and 7WR (German) who were the winners of the MFL Christmas
competition.
Well done to
all students who submitted their recordings to take part in the Christmas Elf
tongue twister competition!
