Frohe Weihnachten! Joyeux Noël!
Thank you to our German and French tutors, Isabel and Mady, who helped to run the Year 7 Christmas Market roleplay sessions over the last couple of weeks, enabling students to experience this aspect of culture and tradition, while practising key language skills.
Students got the chance to experience the taste and smell of traditional Christmas food, such as cinnamon biscuits, 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!

Auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt! Au marché de Noël!
Pop-up MFL Christmas Market
A huge thank you to the MFL Prefect team and Language Leaders in Years 7-10 who ran stalls at the MFL Christmas Market last week.
They demonstrated fantastic entrepreneurial and collaborative skills as students from across the age range worked together to sell their produce.
Market-goers were able to buy a range of continental delicacies such as German Lebkuchen, Belgian chocolate waffles, Dutch Stroopwaffels, as well as French cakes and crêpes.
Students were also able to buy traditional wooden tree decorations, Christmas pencils and take part in a raffle to win an extra-large chocolate bar!
