Well done to Bowen who is the first to crack the Languages Day escape room code. Who will be next? #europeandayoflanguages #determination

Making the most of the warm weather and our fabulous outside spaces - a Spanish nature hunt with Year 6, searching for everything from las telas de araña to los insectos que caminan #collaboration #educationwithcharacter

Fabulous Easter cards in French from #Year4. I love the creativity and #independence everyone showed in developing their individual designs #freetobeme @BansteadPrep

#Year5 have been learning about the planets in both Science and Spanish. Their concertina booklets are out of this world!! Thanks to @valleseco for the idea! #curiosity #independence #mfl @BansteadPrep

We learnt about how the French celebrate le premier avril today and why. #Year6 enjoyed trying to stick paper fish onto one another's backs and writing some French poems about colourful fish! Thanks @valleseco for the poem idea! @BansteadPrep #MFL

Well done to Millie in Year 6 who came top of the school and number 55 in the country in the recent Languagenut competition #primarylanguages #proud #independence @BansteadPrep

Congratulations to Millie, Eloise, Meriam, Edith and Henry who are the school leaders of the @languagenut February competition. We are currently 288 in the international league table! Come on everyone, let's get even further! #resilience

Does Zeus trump all other mythical characters? Not when you can make up your own ratings! Yr6 enjoyed playing a Greek myths version of the well-known game in #Classics #educationwithcharacter

Strategy and defence at play today in a battleships game about the weather. #resilience needed when your ship gets sunk! Different tactics used to keep your board a secret from your opponent #freetobeme. Lots of French being spoken! #communication @BansteadPrep

Learning through song. Year 4 exemplified #collaboration when they spontaneously and without inhibition burst into song together. Felicidades - you've smashed those Spanish numbers and colours! #attitudesforlearning #freetobeme #primarylanguages #mfltwitterati

I love that my new ER verb display represents the crazy uniqueness and passionate creativity of each individual Year 5 #mfl #primarylanguages @BansteadPrep

It's a group effort to keep this farm running. Our new cooperative game mode Farmchain arrives tomorrow!

Day 11 of #ClassicsTober is Priestess! Perhaps the most well known Priestess of the ancient world was the Pythia, often called the Oracle, at Delphi.

Wink Murder in Spanish - the children asked one another their ages in Spanish while the murderer went to work! Well done to the #Year4 detectives who spotted them! @BansteadPrep #primarylanguages #mfl

I was so impressed with the stories that 4P @BansteadPrep produced in a single lesson. It's amazing where all those animals get to! #mfl #primarylanguages

Love it when children spot links between languages. Well done to Hunter (Yr 3) who spotted how similar French and Spanish numbers are and to Thomas (Yr 6) who immediately cited the word "salutations" when he learnt that salve in Latin means hello! @BansteadPrep #mfl #classics
