Park Mains High School celebrated European Day of Languages 2017 on Thursday 26th September! All S1 pupils were invited to come along and enjoy tasty treats from many European countries including France, Germany, Spain and Italy. Pupils enjoyed trying out new delicacies such as Italian prosciutto, French croissants and German Lebkuchen.
This was a cross-sector event with invaluable input from Music, Art and Home Economics departments. Senior pupils studying Advanced Higher music volunteered to play European classical guitar to give the department a continental vibe. Mr Tervet and Mr Smith also played guitar. The Home Economics department opened their kitchens for us to cook our Italian pizzas. It was a brilliant success!
As part of European Day of Languages, pupils were encouraged to think about the languages behind the cuisine before them! Vocabulary activities including quizzes and games in French, German, Italian and Spanish were enjoyed by all.
