European Day of Languages

Date: 28th Sep 2016 @ 8:56pm

Eine Sprache ist niemals genug (which means "One language is never enough") and Mrs Taylor and the staff and children of Queen's Park couldn't agree more! A love of language is something that is embedded into our curriculum and we are very lucky to have Mrs Taylor and her infectious enthusiasm and passion for languages. 

We loved our German focus this year and what a fantastic, fun-filled day we had in Year 6! 

Our day kicked off with an assembly led by Mrs Taylor. We were particularly impressed with Mr Warner, Mrs Connor and Ms Moss' Tongue Twister Challenge! Who would have thought we had such incredible linguists working at Queen's Park?

We then had an amazing dance session with Miss Emma where we learnt the Waltz. I forgot I was in the school hall for a moment and genuinely believed I was on Strictly. Q6 were out of this world! 

We then spent some time researching Germany and the German culture. We found out some great facts from - German Nobel prize winners to famous German companies. We were keen to find out about German foods before we enjoyed our German sausages for lunch.

After lunch we went to Cowley for the afternoon. We had a Skype chat with a school in Hanover. Charlie and Owen were brave enough to show off their German dance moves! The children at the school taught us lots of German words and phrases. We came back to Queen's Park feeling confident with counting to 20 in German and knowing the German alphabet. Q6 will be more than ready to begin their German lessons when they go to Cowley next year.

So much learning and so much fun. Auf wiedersehen! :)

Here are some pictures of us enjoying the Waltz.
