MFL trip to Bristol University

On Wednesday 25th October, ten students from Year 8 attended a trip to Bristol University with Miss Rowden and Mrs Selby.

This is the first time EVER that we have been invited to a languages event like this at Bristol University. Our students were fantastic throughout the day and made a brilliant effort to share their ideas and get involved in the workshops. Students learned more about translation and poetry in the workshops and worked with professional poets and translators on the day. The ten students now have the opportunity to enter a competition in which they can write a poem in Spanish and / or submit a translation of a text, poem or song from another language into English. All entrants will then be invited to an awards ceremony at the university in January.

Well done to the ten students and good luck with the competition!
