Every year on 26 September, Tewkesbury Academy proudly celebrates the European Day of Languages, an event dedicated to promoting the rich linguistic and cultural diversity of Europe.
As part of this year’s celebrations, Head of French, Ms Germain, organised a creative competition with the theme European Languages.
Students were invited to showcase their talents by submitting a poster, painting, photograph, or decorated cake, with Amazon vouchers awarded to the winning entries.
The competition drew a variety of imaginative and high-quality submissions, reflecting the enthusiasm of the students.
Adding to the festivities, the Year 9 catering group prepared the classic French dish croque monsieur, a hot ham and cheese sandwich enhanced with creamy béchamel sauce, baked or fried until golden and bubbling.
This culinary experience offered students not only a delicious treat but also a chance to engage with French culture in a fun and educational way.
A spokesperson for Tewkesbury Academy said: “We are delighted to see our students embracing the spirit of the European Day of Languages.
“The creativity shown in the competition entries and the enthusiasm in the catering activity highlight the importance of celebrating cultural diversity.
“Learning about languages and traditions helps our students to broaden their horizons and deepen their understanding of the world around them.”
