U6 Spanish students working hard to break put of their La Casa de Bernarda Alba escape room- excellent revision of our set text!

Wonderful to see our HelKats exploring new places, meeting new people and having an amazing time on their #German exchange - students visited Ahorn-Sportpark and Boulderhalle Bielefeld with their exchange partners to complete a series of fun team-building tasks @shsklanguages

We had so much fun, well done everybody! 👏👏Joyeux Noël, Feliz Navidad, Frohe Weihnachten, 祝你圣诞快乐 from the MFL team🎅🎄⛄️

A wonderfully whacky St Helen’s tradition - it’s Carols Across the World, of course! HelKats sang at the top of their lungs in high #SHSKChristmas spirits @shsklanguages @shskmusic

Today is the day 😃🎅@gchq

Very much looking forward to this Thursday 😃🎅@gchq

Y8 students in German had lots of fun at lunchtime today writing messages and putting together small sweet parcels to deliver to staff and friends in the school community. They wanted to show their gratitude for all that they do. Frohen Nikolaus 🎅🇩🇪

Talented Y11 linguists had a fantastic day marketing Jelly Babies in French, Spanish and German on Thursday. A fantastic OX14 partnership event, many thanks for inviting us @abingdonschool !

¡Feliz día de muertos! We enjoyed an informative and thought provoking presentation this evening by Honey (L6) on cultural appreciation of this popular Mexican festival and tasted some delicious sugar skulls.

Congratulations to our L6 Mandarin students for achieving a remarkable Distinction (100%) on their ISEB LEVEL 1 Mandarin Assessment. To celebrate this fantastic result, we had a tea ceremony and explored Chinese tea culture.

Another year, another great newspaper fashion show in Y8, all with fantastic descriptions in Spanish!

On 15th June, Year 8 Mandarin class participated in a Mandarin trip to the British Museum to learn about Chinese history. Students also enjoyed a Chinese characters quiz and Chinese bubble tea in Chinatown.

Only a few more days until this very exciting competition begins, time to get translating! 🙂

On May 4th, students took part in the Chinese Experience Club and learned how to make a Chinese knot which is called the 平结(píng jié). The knot is considered one of the fundamental knots in Chinese knotting and can be used to create a variety of accessories.@SHSKLower

Jasmine Flower is a popular Chinese folk song from the Jiangnan region. The song dates back to the 18th century in China. Year 6 students in Mandarin had the opportunity to sing the song and to learn a traditional Chinese Fan Dance.
