The world on a plate for Modern Languages Week

Origami challenges, Chinese tea parties, language quizzes and food tasting were all on the menu in an action packed RGS Languages Week. The festival of language based activities was designed to give an insight into different cultures as well as boost students’ language skills and encourage them to try new activities, such as the school’s weekly Mandarin Club.

Lunchtimes throughout the week were devoted to activities from different cultures. Most popular with the students was the opportunity to taste fayre from European countries while testing their general knowledge of the food’s name and country of origin.

Commented Miss Martina Sowa, Head of German and organiser of the week: “The activities engaged both the staff and students and proved to be great fun and in addition brought focus to our language learning. A general knowledge quiz tested the brain power of everyone at the school with the prize going to Matthew Norman who got full marks.”
