#Year5 loved playing Among Us to practise birthdays in Spanish. The imposter had to change their birthday slightly and hope nobody knew it. Quite a challenge for the twins! #speakforeignlanguages #primarylanguages #classroomgamesarefun

Love it when children spot links between languages. Well done to Hunter (Yr 3) who spotted how similar French and Spanish numbers are and to Thomas (Yr 6) who immediately cited the word "salutations" when he learnt that salve in Latin means hello! Banstead Preparatory School #mfl #classics

Day 11 of #ClassicsTober is Priestess! Perhaps the most well known Priestess of the ancient world was the Pythia, often called the Oracle, at Delphi.

Learning through song. Year 4 exemplified #collaboration when they spontaneously and without inhibition burst into song together. Felicidades - you've smashed those Spanish numbers and colours! #attitudesforlearning #freetobeme #primarylanguages #mfltwitterati

Strategy and defence at play today in a battleships game about the weather. #resilience needed when your ship gets sunk! Different tactics used to keep your board a secret from your opponent #freetobeme. Lots of French being spoken! #communication Banstead Preparatory School

We learnt about how the French celebrate le premier avril today and why. #Year6 enjoyed trying to stick paper fish onto one another's backs and writing some French poems about colourful fish! Thanks Clare Seccombe for the poem idea! Banstead Preparatory School #MFL
