You can read out latest newsletter at www.elliott-school.org.uk/LangCol/newsletter_November_2009.pdf. This provides an update on all of the work we hav been doing recently. One item on our Primary programme follows:

Salut!
It’s been a great start to the term for Elliott’s Primary CLIL programme. I am at four new schools in the Borough; John Burns in Battersea, Sheringdale in Southfields,
Sacred Heart in Roehampton and St. Anne’s in Wandsworth. It is lovely to still be working with our friends at Granard School, and their new Year 6. I have also been training the KS2 teachers in Spanish at
Albermarle School. The staff have been fantastic and so welcoming to me. They all work really hard during our after-school session and we have good fun. Thank you, Albermarle.
The most exciting news is that Elliott Language College is replacing the after-school language Master Classes, (where about 35 Wandsworth pupils would come to Elliott and learn a new language per term), with 3 whole-day Language and Culture Events to be held at Elliott. We are inviting schools to bring a group of Year 6 pupils along for the day to participate in all different activities such as games, quizzes, and a theatre workshop in the Language of that day. Our first event is on Tuesday, 1st December and will be celebrating German Language and Culture especially as this year is the 20th anniversary of the Unification of Germany. It promises to be a very exciting and enriching day for all involved.
A bientôt,
Madame Delaney

The Arts Festival

Last night we celebrated our Arts Festival. We started with Japanese drumming, had Jie singing Japanese rock and this was followed by African drumming. There were more amazing performances on the open stage with poetry readings, beat box, street dance as well as the drama performance, the Art and Photography exhibition and food and drink served in the school grounds. Thanks to all of those involved especially the Elliott Supporters and Mr Tucker.
