On Friday 28 September, in recognition of European Languages Week, Sherfield hosted an International Languages Evening. The event provided a platform for our talented linguists to showcase their cultural heritage and their bilingual skills. A range of pupils – from Year 5 to Year 12 – performed, and the event was compèred by our Head Girl and Boy. In total, there were drama, poem and song performances in thirteen different languages, ranging from English to Korean, from Dhivehi to Russian. The event was well attended, with parents afforded the opportunity to learn some common phrases in a range of languages in our pre-performance language café. This was hosted by a number of our bilingual students. Mrs Ranchin-Meakin and Mr Cross were very pleased with the overall success of the evening and are hoping for this event to become an annual celebration in the school calendar.
Well done to all involved!
