TARBERT ACADEMY

On Monday, 26^th September P3/4 pupils in Tarbert Academy turned teacher for the day and offered their parents, grannies, grandads aunties, uncles and friends FREE language lessons in French, German or Spanish. 

The pupils worked very hard for two weeks prior to the event learning the core language,  practising their accents, creating resources such as playing cards and even made worksheets that they used to check the learning had happened.  They wrote lesson plans and made their own stickers with which to reward their pupils when they did a good job. 

The session started with an action song which the whole class taught to all “pupils” and then moved on to individual lessons.  “Classes” were between 1 – 4 pupils. 

“Pupils” were invited to stay for lunch and enjoyed Soupe à l’oignon, Paella and Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte.  P7/6 helped with the ambience in the dining centre with beautifully designed and executed menus adorning the tables.
