Year 7 and 8 Topic Week

WARNING! You may find some of the work you are about to see quite upsetting…beautiful beaches, stunning hotels, peaceful countryside retreats!

Year 7 and 8 went on holiday to French speaking countries last week. Have a look at the results of their extensive research which are breathtaking but also quite painful to mark without being able to pack my suitcase!

The purpose of this task was to enable our students to discover parts of the French speaking world they did not know and realise how diverse they are. So don’t forget your passport (maroon or blue…) and enjoy !

Italian

The Italian project for both Years 7 and 8 involved researching an Italian festival and producing a PowerPoint presentation about it. They recorded themselves reading out a voiceover in Italian with details of what goes on at the festival. The results were of a very high standard and it was very difficult to select a few to showcase here!

Fairy Tale Project

The most famous fairy tales were written down by the German Grimm Brothers! They didn’t write the stories – they only collected and wrote down what had been told for centuries.

The German word for fairy tale is ‘Märchen’.

Our Year 7 and 8 students have been researching ‘the Grimm Brothers’ and have written their own fairy tales in German and presented them as PowerPoints or story boards ready for an audience of young German children. We have some very talented story writers! On our return to school, we will use voice overs to tell the stories and then send them to a German Primary School near our partner school in Erkrath!
