SWRA Easter Language fun with Welbourn Primary

Sir William Robertson Academy continues to work with a wide range of primary schools and was delighted to welcome 29 Year 5 and 6 pupils from Welbourn Primary School to school recently for an Easter Workshop in Modern Foreign Languages. The workshops included sessions in both French and German with Language teachers Mrs Fellinger and Miss Brousse.

The theme was Easter Celebrations in France and Germany and covered cultural elements, as well as giving pupils the opportunity to do some language based craft activities and take part in a fun quiz. The pupils learnt some essential seasonal vocabulary and put their new knowledge to good use writing greeting cards in the target language. At the end of the three sessions the pupils were presented with certificates and goody bags as well as enjoying homemade cookies.

Miss Phillips, Head of Languages who helped organised the workshop commented: “The pupils from Welbourn had a fantastic time and quickly developed their language skills and Easter traditions knowledge whilst having fun.”

The School which offers comprehensive education for 11-18 year olds, is quite unique with its safe, rural location between the villages of Welbourn and in but easily accessible from Lincoln, , , Newark, Lincoln and surrounding villages – with school buses serving each of these areas. The school looks forward to welcoming Year 4 and 5 primary school pupils to its Summer Opening Evening on Tuesday 25th June 6.00pm – 8.30pm.
