==At this Linguistic Olympiad we attended Language Taster sessions for Chinese, Nepali, Shona, French, Italian, Hindi, Nepali and Tagalog ... and then started planning our own sessions based on Olympic themes - colours (of olympic rings), sports ..... getting ready to welcome the world ....which we will deliver to our local primary schools.==











==Thank you to EMTAS and Astrid Gouwy and Lizzie Jenner who organised this great event. ==

==On Thursday 28 June, our 6 pupils taught their first German language sessions after a great deal of preparation and practice. Pupils from our local feeder primary schools came to Robert May's for an induction day and a language session. After a general introduction, the children were divided into 3 groups and each group rotated around 3 different language activities/lessons. These included colours - based on the 5 olympic rings, some of the main sports and phrases to welcome German athletes and tourists to London for the Olympic Games. ==
