On the Year 10 option subjects enrichment day, I had a really

lovely time learning in greater depth about the language that I

study. The first task was doing a Spanish or French role play with

partners or in small groups. After we did the speaking activity,

we went up to Mrs Charles or Mr Harrop and had to order food

like we would in a real-life restaurant. The food included

crepes (chocolate pancakes), small muffins called magdelenas in

Spanish or madeleines in French and croissants. This was really

enriching as we don’t often get the opportunity to try out French

and Spanish food or to eat in class! We then had to do a treasure

hunt on the topic of school and it was fun looking for clues around

the school which expanded our Spanish knowledge. We used our 

phones to scan QR codes which gave us the clues we were looking 

for. After this, we did a range of quizzes to check that we had

remembered everything we had done so far in the day. The last

activity was watching and answering questions on a short range of

films clips in Spanish and French which told really inspirational

stories and taught us more about Spanish and French culture. We

now know lots more about foreign language films. The language

day was really fun all round, I learnt a lot and my Spanish

knowledge has definitely widened.
