Young Translators Competition


Two of our outstanding language students have won a prestigious competition organised by Runshaw College! Kirsty Jackson won the German prize and Rebecca Neil won the French prize. The two Year 11 girls had to translate a document from the foreign language into English with only a dictionary to help. They both managed to capture the essence of what the writer was trying to express and are to be congratulated on their achievement. They both won first prize! Image1
Well done girls!

Jacques Prévert - famous French poet

      Pour toi mon amour

Chain Clip Art

Je suis allé au marché aux oiseaux
Et j'ai acheté des oiseaux
Pour toi
mon amour
Je suis allé au marché aux fleurs
Et j'ai acheté des fleurs
Pour toi
mon amour
Je suis allé au marché à la ferraille
Et j'ai acheté des chaînes
De lourdes chaînes
Pour toi
mon amour
Et je suis allé au marché aux esclaves
Et je t'ai cherchée
Mais je ne t'ai pas trouvée
mon amour

We won!

G&t 
Modern Foreign Languages Competition

Last November we received a letter from Runshaw College inviting our Gifted and Talented Year 10 pupils to write a succinct piece about why they study foreign languages. The challenge was to write this in a foreign language!  Four of the French Option group worked really hard on this and then sent in their entries. In January we found out that they had each won a book token as a reward for their excellent work! Well done Nickolay, Kirsty, Charlotte and Rebecca!
