MFL Faculty celebrates European Day of...

During the week of 26th September, students across the school celebrated the rich linguistic diversity of Europe, which comprises 200 European languages, 24 Official EU languages, 60 regional or minority languages and languages by people from elsewhere within the world who have migrated to live within the EU.

Our celebrations consisted of an EDL quiz which all CDC groups completed instead of the usual weekly quiz and a photo competition. 9 Elm and 7 Elm were nominated the joint winners of the photo competition with 9 Ash a runner up. This involved CD groups taking a photograph of a foreign dish (or something that represented this) and judges had to guess which country the food represented.

Thank you to everyone who participated. The photos are amazing and some of the entries are below.

Can you guess the countries?
