European Day of Languages celebrations - Food! Essen! A manger!

Friday 26th September was an exciting day for Cowbridge MFL students with lots of exciting events taking place all day!
During lunchtime students had the opportunity to taste délicieux food from European countries: pain au chocolat, brioche, chorizo, salami, stollen, fromage, pain, Haribo Bonbons, chocolat and much more.

The excitement at the food!
To be able to relish the tasty international food, there was only one deal; the students had to ask for the food in either cymraeg, français, deutsch, español or italiano! Some students chose to talk in another language to ask for the food too; in addition to the above languages we heard some Swedish, some Slovak and also Norwegian!

Fantastische Hefte! Des beaux cahiers!

Well done year 7,8 and 9 on your great, creative efforts for your thematic book covers at the start of this school year. 

Here are some of the most creative books!

 A German fairy tale theme.... By Sophie Ellis-Hunt in Year 8.


We like the hand of friendship here. Well done Ruby Davies in Year 8.


Very artistic effort from Phoebe Jennings in 8.6!

Colourful and full of information, Charlotte Fuller's book is a bit glam..

An excellent effort from Year 9 student, Nadia. Wunderbar!

And Mali Howell's depiction of Angela Merkel is quite something!

Très bien Dylan Morris in Year 7.


Very colourful, Cerys!

Orla Galton added some French facts. Superbe!

Thea in 7.2 also had an original design!

The sporting theme here is super! Merci Aimee Smith in Year 7,

Another ex-Cowbridge student sets off abroad!

Fred Bisson left Cowbridge in 2012 having studied Maths, Physics, Further Maths and German at A-level. He loved Maths and chose to study it at Warwick university. However he has recently made the decision to take up the opportunity of a year abroad in Gottingen, Germany during his degree.


Here is Fred on some other exciting travels this Summer in China!
This is what Fred wrote about choosing to study abroad for a year:
Doing Maths probably worked in my favour for the year abroad. Warwick university has a good network of partner universities in Europe and the department are keen to promote the ERASMUS programme as we receive a lot of students as well. I found myself well placed after German A level compared to other candidates and could pick from a lot of universities in Germany. I chose Göttingen because loads of famous mathematicians studied there and it is a historic university town so I quite wanted to experience that kind of atmosphere as opposed to the modern hub of Warwick. A good thing about my university is how many opportunities they give you so I was lucky enough to be sent to summer school in Beijing which was great fun and gave me the opportunity to see a whole new world.
