ST MARGARET ACADEMY

We have had a great week this week. Each day we have celebrated a different European language.

We started each day by the prayer which was said in the language covered that day. (French, Spanish, Italian, German and Dutch).

Everyday, pupils have been doing various activities such as watching a French movie (les Choristes), going for a Tapas Trip, discussing an Italian breakfast, learning new facts about Germany and learning fun facts about Holland.

Moreover, pupils had the choice in the canteen with some dishes from the country where the language is spoken.

French dishes:

Vichyssoise (leek and potato soup)

Poulet Grand-mère Casserole (chicken and mushroom casserole)

Spanish dishes:
Ternera con tomate (beef and tomato soup)

Tarta de Manzana (apple tart on puff pastry coated in apricot jam)

Italian dishes

Minestrone soup (Tomato and pasta soup)

Mince Beef Lasagne

German dishes
Sauerbraton (brown marinated Beef)

Kasekuchen (Cheese cake)

It has been a huge success- and we as a department have been dressing up everyday wearing clothes typical of their country.

Hope that other schools across the country have had as much fun as us.
