On Wednesday 8th June, the Year 10 languages classes had a chance to learn about them all! In groups of a few students from each class we competed for canteen vouchers and eternal glory!<\/span><\/p>\n

We listened to recordings sent in by parents, guessing the language, and pop songs in different languages – including Kpop, the Beatles in German and Anime theme songs. We were also asked questions about linguistics and other languages (like the letter after omicron in the Greek alphabet), questions about the Olympics, and other cultural questions that had everyone puzzled! We played Kahoots and true-or-false, with tricky questions like who the current Chancellor of Germany is (Olaf Scholz, not Angela Merkel!).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Possibly the best part was the morning tea each language class teacher had prepared: noodles and white rabbit candy at the Chinese table; pocky at the Japanese table and gummy bears and wafers at the German table.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you to our judges: Year 12 languages students Queen Alex, King Declan and King Elliott. We enjoyed flattering you in different languages for extra points, or telling you the funniest word\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you to Madame Walker, Frau Reynolds, Mr Gillespie and Mr Dong, for all your hard work in making it such a fun experience!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
