Wednesday 19 April was a day to remember for our Years 9 and 10 students of Spanish and French (who also invited two very keen Year 12 French students)… not only were both trips excellently planned and orchestrated, with the minutest attention given to detail, but the students showed they were in their element on the day, enjoying the fun and culture that makes learning these languages so relevant and so special.

What a journey

We often describe the learning journey of a student as being when they are in the midst of being at school. Recent research suggests that the learning begins whilst in the womb. The foetus is exposed to a range of sensory experiences, such as sound, light, and touch, which can influence their development. For example, research has shown that babies can recognise their mother's voice and respond to certain sounds in the environment while still in the womb.
