We've had quite a few birthdays in MFL recently. Mrs Prout, Mrs Wilkin and Mrs Crassus all have theirs within a month of each other and I know a number of students celebrating too. Yesterday it was Ben R's birthday in 7XML4 so we learnt how to sing Happy Birthday to him in German.
How do you think we sound?!!
Sometimes learning numbers in a foreign language can be tricky. However, knowing your numbers is essential for all sorts of things like saying your age, telephone number, address, going shopping and buying things etc. In German, groups of numbers like the 'teens' follow a pattern. If we recognise patterns, it makes the numbers easier to learn. You also tend to remember something better when you teach somebody else.
Why don't you try and teach your family the numbers and then have some fun playing a game like Bingo..?

We are very excited to see what the New Year has in store for us..
Over the past two years 9SMP have taken part in a pen pal project with our partner school in Husum, Germany and we were very pleased to have another set of letters waiting for us after the Christmas break.
We are able to learn so much from writing to each other and are starting to form real friendships. Eventually, we hope to be able to go and visit them.
On the back of this success, we have also set up links with schools in France and Germany. We hope to get as many of you involved as possible. Watch this space for more information..!
