Speaking in tongues for languages day

Henlow Academy’s lessons and activities were based around the theme on Wednesday.

They had taster sessions of German, Spanish, Dutch and Japanese, took part in quizzes, ate themed food at lunchtime and even watched foreign language films after school.

Head of modern languages, Mark Bellamy, said: “It has been a fantastic opportunity for our pupils to find out about a wide variety of different languages and cultures.

“Staff have tailored their lessons to incorporate an international theme and every pupil received a European Passport booklet.

“We have really enjoyed the day.”
