1. German Week/s in May

Many German classes have been taking part in the AGTV tongue twister competitions.

8A and 8C prepared snacks for their classes as part of our “Food and Drink” topic. Many students baked, cooked or raided pantries for something suitable! The spreads were delicious and much thought went into preparations. We even had Wiener Schnitzel, Currywurst, apple strudel and home baked cakes and slices. Well done to all students involved.

One Year 9 class prepared posters for a demonstration about the environment. The students put a lot of care into their slogans and posters, practising their German at the same time. On Friday afternoon we took photos for the Goethe Institute competition and paraded through some of the areas of the school!
