Welcome to Germany and the German Speaking World
Pupils from our German club were invited to Durham University to join in their special ‘German Day’.
Our pupils joined in workshops which included an introduction to the geography and peoples of the German Speaking World, a language lesson and a session exploring German culture.
Our pupils were given some souvenirs to take home as part of their day provided by The Goethe-Institut, Germany’s cultural institute.
We even managed to enjoy our packed lunches by the river.
"It was good to spend time out of school where we could learn the language and take part in activities and not feel rushed. We also found out that there are similarities with languages and that you can work out the meaning of German words from some of our own English words"

"The Staff and teachers were really nice, and the activities helped us learn quickly. As well as the language we also found out more about Germany."
