Well what a day! Staff responded to the challenge of speaking as many foreign languages as possible and students were very generous in their awarding of merits. I have my suspicions that there was some vote rigging going on but will announce the winners on Monday. Watch out to see if you won the star prize!
Year 7 took part in a quiz about European countries and languages and Year 9 learnt how to say I love you in 12 different languages in their assembly. How romantic. Just right if you meet your Juan/Juanita in a million!
Year 10 created videos using the new digi suite and green room technology. I'll post some on the blog once they've been edited. Some even created their own gizmoz characters. I'm off to lie down.
Check these out!

I hope that the "European Day of Languages" encouraged many people to learn a new language. Especially in the United Kingdom where the interest in learning languages seems to be declining.
You may know that four schools in Britain have introduced Esperanto, the neutral international language, in order to test its propaedeutic values?
The pilot project is being monitored by the University of Manchester. Why not extend this project to other countries as well? Further academic appraisal is essential.
