This week we are celebrating out third annual World Cultures & Languages Week - a week of activities designed to explore and celebrate nationalities, cultures and our vibrant community!

Monday

The week began with some wonderful messages from some former students who studied lanuages here.  It was amazing to hear how learning a language has enhanced thier lives in so many different ways and that they continue to be grateful for their experience at Leventhorpe.

Dr Cheng led a Chinese calligraphy workshop at lunchtime using special paper and brushes (which were kindly donated to the school by the Taiwan Embassy), meanwhile Mrs Bayford offered students the opportunity to decorate delicious French crêpes to eat.

There was a French-themed menu on offer in the canteen and a 'Hello' banner was on display in Reception to welcome staff, students and visitors to the school thoughout the week.

Tuesday

The first of our week's inter-form quizzes took place entitled 'Weird Facts About The World' which included questions such as:

• Which country has no railway?
• Which country has no snakes?
• Which country has an island where only women can live?

Then, at lunchtime, the hall was packed with students giving zumba-style dancing a go with Miss West-Taylor!  It was wonderful to see so many students joining in and giving it a go...with lots of laughter throughout!
