      Celebrating Languages in School! 🌍✨

      The MFL department has lots of exciting events coming up, giving everyone the chance to explore the importance of languages and cultures.

      Language Leaders Club
      Every Tuesday in Room 4 at Break 2, our Language Leaders meet to plan fun activities for the school. This is the perfect opportunity for anyone who loves languages to get involved, share ideas, and help bring cultural events to life. The club is all about teamwork, leadership, and spreading a passion for languages across the school community.

      European Day of Languages – Thursday 25th September 2025
      Next week, we’ll be celebrating the European Day of Languages with a range of interactive activities across school. Highlights include:

      • 🎶 European Pop Music in the Hall (Break 2) – enjoy hits from across Europe!

      • ✂️ Crafting Sessions – make your own bunting on the theme “Why are languages important?” (Break 1 in Room 3 and Break 2 in the Hall).

      • 🎲 Outside Fun at the Tyre Circle – try the traditional French game of pétanque or have a go at hitting the piñata for a treat!

      • 🕵️ Guess the Language Treasure Hunt in the Hall (Break 2).

      • 👋 Greetings Challenge – surprise your teachers by greeting them in a different language!

      These events are a great way to celebrate the power of communication, learn something new, and have fun at the same time. Don’t miss out – get involved and enjoy a fantastic celebration of languages!

    • Danebury Food Blog 13/6/25

      Published 26/06/25, by Susan Braidley

      Danebury Food Blog – 13 June 2025

      There is nothing better than a home-cooked meal that is quick and nutritious.  Each week we will be sharing recipes that have been nominated by pupils or members of staff, that are more delicious than freezer food and considerably cheaper than ordering a takeaway.  In addition, we will be sharing news about the fantastic food preparation undertaken by our pupils.

      Pupil Choice Recipe

      A number of pupils have requested the recipe for the “healthy” Churros that a few of them have experienced in their Food lessons and in their Loric session.  So here it is:

      Crumpet Churros

      Ingredients

      • 4 crumpets, sliced into thin fingers
      • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
      • 2 tbsp golden caster sugar, plus extra for serving
      • 2 tsp ground cinnamon, plus extra for serving

      Method

      • Place the crumpet fingers in a bowl, drizzle over the melted butter and stir to coat the crumpets.
      • Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a separate bowl, and then sprinkle onto the crumpet fingers.
      • Mix everything together then place in the air fryer for 5–6 minutes at 180C.
      • Add extra sugar and cinnamon to the churros to taste, and serve alongside chocolate sauce for dipping.
