Mr Black's S1 class were treated to a Russian taster this week to celebrate @LangsWeekScot . Pupils did a great job at spelling their names in the Cyrillic alphabet using Play-Doh.

We have had a great time celebrating Languages Week. Vielen Dank to James who gave our S2,3 and 4 learners a great talk about why German is such a great language to learn! @LangsWeekScot @GI_Glasgow

Studying a modern language is a really rewarding and practical experience. Before Christmas, Ms Malaisé took our S3 beginners' Spanish learners to a tapas restaurant. After only 4 months of learning the language, the pupils were able to order in Spanish! ¡Muy bien!

If your school offers German, you have access to a language with so much in common with English, relatively easy pronunciation & familiar words, so many practical applications, a gateway to Swedish, Dutch & even Icelandic. German is a language that genuinely rewards your efforts.

Mr Black and Mrs Duncan took S3, S4 and S6 German learners to the Goethe-Institut where a great day was had by all learning about how useful learning German is to a wide range of careers. @GI_Glasgow

Well done to Mr Black's S3 class who took on the challenge of racing against the clock (and each other) to find out more about German-speaking countries. A special well done to the winning team!

To celebrate European Day of Languages, we encouraged staff and pupils to wear the colours of their chosen country. Our resident mandarin enthusiast, Ms Malaisé wore her Chinese dress and our German teacher, Mr Black wore the colours of the German flag.

Having a new term clear out and have two boxes of various Classics books for anyone interested in picking them up from Hamilton. Might be useful for some BGE Classics or Advanced Higher dissertations.

Learners in Transitus, S1 and S2 were set a German escape room challenge. Our winners were rewarded with a certificate and some Haribo (did you know that Haribo is a German company?)!

Finally, staff from various departments posted signs on their doors about which language they would like to learn. Italian seemed to be the most popular choice!
