St Bede’s students once again celebrated European Day of Languages in style this year with various activities. All forms completed a quiz with questions related to recognising different languages, including those spoken by their teachers. The Lower Fourth participated in a morning of dedicated languages-related activities, including workshops where they danced Flamenco with Mrs Morillo, played Boules on the lawn with Mr Gerardo and made avatars that spoke different languages with Mr Murugathas. They then attended an online workshop led by Routes into Languages, an organisation made up of local universities, in which they learnt about the importance of learning languages and heard from a panel of university students with a Q&A.

Students participated enthusiastically and asked pertinent questions. They were commended for their efforts and curiosity.
