CURRICULUM// MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Sole, stuffed peppers and chips.
The food was judged by two keen
chefs from among the School staff:
Phil Donaldson (Head of Academic
Administration) and Toby Seth
(Headmaster). They scored the
meals out of ten in four categories:
use of ingredients; technical skill;
appearance and taste.
Pete and Tiger were declared the
winners as their dish, the only
pudding prepared by the contestants,
scored 34 points out of a maximum
of 40. All the contestants showed
real innovation and skill, setting an
impressively high standard for future
competitors to match.
THE GREAT EUROPEAN
BAKE OFF!
The Modern Languages Department ran the Great European
Bake Off in celebration of the European Day of Languages
on Wednesday 26th September 2018. Pupils were encouraged
to bake a “European-themed” treat and their creations were
judged by the Headmaster and Mrs Salmon. There were all
sorts of wonderful creations, including a (nearly life-size!) Eiffel
Tower made entirely out of crispy cake; huge well done to
Adam Wilcock! We also tasted the Colosseum, a two-tiered
Union Jack, EU cupcakes, Spanish maracas, a flamenco cake,
a Swedish Princess cake, a fruit mille feuille, a Dutch bundt
cake, an Ocktoberfest extravaganza complete with stein and a
traditional polish cake and these were only a few of them!
All of the cakes were then sold to raise money for MacMillan
Cancer Support as part of MacMillan Coffee Morning and we
raised a huge total of £230.67.
Our biggest thanks go to all of the pupils who spent a huge
amount of time and effort creating their masterpieces; we were
totally overwhelmed by the quality and variety of bakes! It
really did feel like a proper “bake off” with comments such as
“there’s no soggy bottom there” and “nice texture” from the
judges! Well done to everyone whether you baked, bought or
donated.
