Christmas in MFL

 

Frohe Weihnachten! Joyeux 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 this 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 competition to win an extra-large chocolate bar!

Year 7 French breakfast

Congratulations to all of the Year 7 French students who were nominated by their teachers for their enthusiasm, participation and progress in French lessons this term.

The students were invited to a French breakfast with Chloé, our French Tutor, where they were able to sample some French delicacies such as pain au chocolat, croissants and crêpes while listening to some French Christmas songs.

Frohe Weihnachten!

Thank you to our German tutor, Regina, who helped to run the Year 7 German Christmas Market roleplay this week, 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 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, before paying the correct amount from their plastic euros. They did an excellent job of interacting with the market seller and ordering and paying for their snacks in target language!

Congratulations to 7WS (French) and 7CS (German) who were the winners of the MFL Christmas competition.

Well done to all students who submitted their recordings to take part in the German Christmas Elf tongue twister competition!
