The MFL department has had a festive month.  As you may have read back in November, we have been part of a European Christmas decoration exchange.  Our Y6 and Y8 pupils made some wonderful cards and mini trees to send to 30 different schools around Europe, and in return those schools sent us 30 different ornaments to hang on the Christmas tree in the entrance to the languages block.  For the past 3 weeks on Twitter, we revealed what the postman was delivering each day and we added them to the tree. And here it is finished! We wish all our partner schools a very Merry Christmas and want to send a huge big thank you to everyone who was involved.

“It was great to see the variety of things we have been sent and I enjoyed opening one of the parcels as it felt like a mini Christmas day!  Their gifts have been really creative.” Olivia, Y6

“Some of the schools sent us information on what their country’s traditions are over Christmas and I found it interesting reading about how their holidays and cultures compare to our own.”  Jack, Y8

“I loved watching the video a Spanish school sent us.  Their English is really impressive.” Lila, Y7

“One of the Austrian schools sent a Sauerkraut soup recipe and I am planning on making it on Christmas Eve.”  Matty, Y8

“I love the idea that so many schools have been coming together to work as one at this time of year.”  Ben, Y8
