Leeds University Visit
On Friday 8th March, Mr Lawson took a group of Year 8 students to Leeds University to compete in a Languages competition. Students worked in groups to produce a poster on a language of their choice which they then took to the campus. They took part in language activities, a campus tour, a Russian taster session and then competed against another school, showcasing their posters and answering the judges’ questions. We are proud to say that the entry for MSM won the competition overall and we even came runner up. We actually won all the prizes. Quelle surprise!
