Battlefield Primary School
Battlefield Primary's Young Interpreters have various responsibilities around the school including promoting languages. They decided to celebrate the European Day of Languages with a game show.
Each class was allocated a European country and a Young Interpreter to teach the pupils some simple phrases in the appropriate language. Each child had a fact file about their country and after a few days of swotting up, classes held a mini quiz about their adopted country. At this stage, one child from each class was put forward for one of the game show teams.
On the day itself, the inaugural 'European Challenge' game show was opened by P1s serenading the audience in Spanish, it was hosted by an MC from P6 with the rest of the school enthusiastically cheering on the competing teams.
The whole school seemed to enjoy the game show experience and everyone got involved one way or another. Better still, Battlefield won 2nd prize inthe Primary category of SCILT's 2012 EDL competition!
