European Day of Languages
All students at Isleworth & Syon study a language at Key Stage 3 (Years 7-9), while French and Spanish are always popular GCSE choices. Language study is important because 75% of the world’s population does not speak English and 60% of Britain’s trade is with non-English speaking countries.
Today was the European Day of Languages, so our MFL team organised fun activities for students to get involved, including:
- A languages-themed quiz
- A word hunt – solving riddles to find seven locations where the answers were displayed in different languages.
Some students even earned pin badges with the France or Spain flag. This was a brilliant celebration of all things linguistic, while reinforcing the importance of languages. Click the image to view full size.
