On Thursday 12th January, one of our Year 10 Russianists treated the class to a seasonal dish enjoyed in both Russia and Ukraine at New Year. It got mixed reviews from the students but was much appreciated by Mrs Willett. To find out more about салат “Оливье” click here.
Well done to all who entered the languages house greetings card competition. It was really hard to judge because the quality of work was so high, and we really appreciated all your effort. All entrants received an R2 for house competition and winners will receive a further house point and should come to language office 2 to collect their prizes.

At Presdales we want to celebrate all the cultures and nationalities within our school community. With this in mind at the start of December we held an International Breakfast. 16 students from across different year groups met for Breakfast and found out some interests they have in common, as well as what languages they all speak. We hope that this will grow into something that will make all our students more aware of the international side of Presdales. We invite interested students to join the International Presdales google classroom where they can put ideas down for future International themed events: https://classroom.google.com/c/NTc0OTk4OTcyOTQx?cjc=gkatopn
What a trip! Four days! We did it all, travelling through 4 countries, Christmas markets in Köln and Düsseldorf, der Kölner Dom, das Schokoladenmuseum, swimming, Phantasialand, der Fernsehturm, shopping and we even managed to visit our partner school in Erkrath.
Parents and students in our partner school, das Gymnasium an Neandertal (Gymneander) organised a Christmas party with German seasonal food. We shared English traditions (mince pies, crackers and a Lucky Dip) and sang Stille Nacht together. All of our students also attended 2 lessons to get a taste of what it is like to learn in a German School.
St Nikolaus, who normally comes on the night of 5th- 6th December, came 3 days early to put some chocolate in the shoes we left outside the door of our hotel rooms.
The German department are very proud of our 84 students from Year 8, 9 and 10 who took it all in their stride. They were fantastic ambassadors for Presdales and our country. I even heard them talking German to each other. Well done to them all!
We hope the pictures give you a flavour of this exciting trip.
