MFL Year 10 Enrichment Day
Enrichment day for Year 10 MFL students comprised a role play activity, a treasure hunt and an interactive film clips session.
The day started with students conducting role plays in French and Spanish café scenarios. Role plays normally feature in the students’ GCSE speaking exam so this activity is very relevant to their course and also enriches them culturally. Once students had mastered the vocabulary, they ordered their breakfast in French and Spanish and had great fun doing so!
The next activity focused on French and Spanish schools and students completed a school vocabulary treasure hunt which involved them leaving the classroom and searching for clues across the BMS site. They used phones to scan QR codes which gave them the clues they were looking for.
Finally, we gave students an insight into French and Spanish film culture with a range of interactive activities on French and Spanish popular film clips. Our students now know so much more about foreign language films and we hope that they enjoy watching them at home!
On Friday 11th February, Year 8 and 9 were treated to two performances in Spanish and in French from the Onatti theatre company. We were very excited to offer this enrichment...
