S2 pupils in Grange Academy recently celebrated the European Day of Languages by taking part in various workshops organised by the Modern Languages Department and our Senior Language Ambassadors. Pupils worked in groups through a series of challenges as they reflected upon the importance of language learning in the modern world.
They were challenged to build free standing models of the Eiffel Tower using only tape and paper. They had to learn to count from 1-10 in Mandarin whilst doing Kung Fu.
Pupils were also tested on their knowledge of Europe in a QR code quiz and were asked to identify different flags.
One of the most popular activities was the photo booth workshop where everyone enjoyed dressing up and posing with props – including staff!
At the end of the event pupils had to write down what they saw as the benefits of language learning and their insightful comments were most impressive.
Feedback was hugely positive and in the words of one S2 pupil “European day of Languages was a great day. We all had fun and it was a good laugh.” We can’t ask for more than that, can we?
