Gifted Little Linguists

BHGS hosts the annual Key Stage 2 Gifted & Talented Languages Day for local primary schools

On Tuesday 25th June, BHGS was pleased once again to host the Key Stage 2 Gifted & Talented Languages Day for 32 boys and girls with a particular linguistic aptitude from Hatfield Community Free School, Oak View School and St Philip Howard School. The pupils took part in six sessions designed to extend their linguistic and cultural knowledge as well as having fun applying their new skills. Activities and themes included exploring German food, what school-life is like in Germany, Weird Spanish Fiestas, Learning through French games, Multi-lingual singing and Break-though Russian. Although the day was quite intense the pupils kept their focus throughout and certificates were awarded at the end to the pupils from each of the schools who had shown themselves to be the most pro-active over the course of the day. This is now a regular feature of the MFL Faculty’s year and we look forward to developing this further in 2020 in collaboration with our partner primary schools.
