This year for information evening I was asked to demonstrate the Languages section of our school curriculum. I am teaching French as a part of our Teaming programme this year and was required to show some of the activities that we have participated in already this year.
A selection of students from my class were invited back to participate in this open evening and together we discussed activities/topics that they had really enjoyed that we could model to the incoming Year 6 students.
The students chose some games, songs and language tasks that they wanted to share - All of which can be found on my Room 8 blog - Link to the class blog - Information Evening Post.
We ended up allocating a station for each pair and they were in charge of leading the activity.
The evening went really well and we had a large amount of visitors come through. I was asked a wide variety of questions about the languages offered at Berkley and how our languages programme works. It was challenging to answer some of the questions around timetabling and also around why we do not allow the students to choose what language they learn. I did my best to respond to each question and referred parents to our timetable in order to explain.
All visiting parents and students seemed to leave this evening very happy with what Berkley offers in the languages department and the Room 8 students who were invited back definitely enjoyed sharing and using the French that they have learnt so far this year.
