Students were treated to a fantastic talk by eminent French scientist and world expert on tiny organisms Audrey Dussutour @Docteur_Drey. She talked about her research on Le Blob, or slime molds, inspiring students to pursue scientific studies in France. @NLCS1850 NLCS Teaching and Learning

A delightful evening, 50 students from Germany with their teachers visited their pen friends at NLCS, celebrating 75 years of exchange. Fortunate to hear Mrs Brown's impassioned and touching speech. She took part in the 1963 exchange and forged life-long friendships. @NLCS1850

The Spanish Y10 students had a fascinating trip to ⁦National Gallery⁩ to learn about Spanish paintings. ⁦@NLCS1850⁩. This came on top of a Mexican restaurant experience for Y9, and next week’s conjugation competition!

News fresh in! Vaishali won 2nd prize for her excellent German cooking video in the Goethe-Institut London Green Fit Mind sustainable cooking competition! Thanks for the innovative project Goethe Institut! @NLCS1850 goethe.de/ins/gb/en/spr/…

Very proud of Sophia, who won the prize for the best spoken French in the French Theatre Festival! They performed a stirring rendition from Jean Anouilh’s Antigone. @NLCS1850

Y8 French trip to Normandy - Mont St Michel, fabrication du pain à La Grande Ferme, tir à l'arc and aéroballe - what a joyful time they had! @NLCS1850

Clearly the Italian and Classics trip to Naples and Pompeii was a delightful experience! @NLCS1850

Frau Venter represented NLCS at the 75th anniversary celebration of our exchange with the Goethe Gymnasium in Ludwigsburg. Privileged to meet some of the first exchange students from 1949! @NLCS1850

Lucky to hear Katja Hoyer earlier this year with our German students. We learnt so much! Great to have this podcast too.

@NLCSLanguages Italian Symposium 2024. Dr Lucia Rinaldi talking about Mafia and the author Sciascia

Wonderful to have our former student Ava back. A PhD student at Durham, she presented a paper on the baroque female artist Artemisia Gentileschi: ‘The feminist in the frame: how Artemisia Gentileschi foregrounds the female figure as a subject’. @NLCS1850

With three students in the final of the National Translation Bee Competition at Cambridge, we are so proud of Harpriya and Emily who won 2nd prizes for Spanish and German @NLCS1850 Routes into Languages

Here are some first picks of yet another glorious Berlin trip. First day exploring after arrival. @NLCS1850

The obligatory Brandenburger Tor photo, where it was decided that in this rain, open air opera doesn’t stand up to Minions in German @NLCS1850

Happy at end of German course and off to explore the city and the Neue Nationalgalerie @NLCS1850

Yet another beautiful day here in Berlin with a visit to Alte Nationalgalerie jubilee exhibition of Caspar David Friedrich, Neue Wache, Bebelplatz, Gendarmenmarkt, Berlin Wall Memorial. City teeming with Brits, so hoping to enjoy the football tonight. Go England! @NLCS1850

NLCS all over this final in Berlin. ⁦@NLCS1850⁩

Okay so it wasn’t England’s night. But of this moment the commentator said: “England spielt Fußball - Halleluja!” @NLCS1850

Last photo at Berlin Brandenburg. England may have lost, but we had a fantastic time in Berlin! ⁦Wir wünschen allen schöne Ferien! ⁦@NLCS1850⁩
