Swedish Gifted & Talented

In December a group of 25 talented linguists from Year 9 experienced a fantastic workshop all in Swedish! Students learnt how to use their linguistic skills by transferring them to another language which they had never encountered. At the end of the day, students had created an acrostic poem in Swedish and could hold a basic conversation in the language. Students were also given an insight into a European country which is not usually studied in the curriculum. The chance to taste Swedish food, including for those more daring students the dreaded pickled herring, was also offered!
