Primary Festival of Languages 2009

On Thursday 18th June, over 120 Primary School children from Years 3-6 visited Hanley Castle with their teachers for the annual Primary Festival of Languages. In the morning sessions, they learnt Russian with Miss Cooper, Chinese with Mr Zhang,

Italian with Miss Portaluri, German and ICT with Miss Hopkins and Miss Tilt and were lucky enough to learn some African, Italian and Estonian songs with Miss Leigh. All the children also ordered a drink and snack (in French, German or Spanish) in the European Café.

Thanks to Hanley Y9 and Sixth Form students for their excellent skills as waiters and waitresses.

In the afternoon, we were all treated to some brilliant productions from each Primary School, from songs and raps to stories. I was very impressed with the amount of language that the children had learnt and how good their pronunciation is.
