MFL POETRY COMPETITION
For the third year in a row, the MFL department has organised a Poetry Competition for lower school pupils of French and Spanish. This year was particularly exciting as not only pupils from the Senior School, but also pupils from the Prep School took part.
During the Christmas holiday pupils learnt their poems and thought of creative ways of presenting them. In January every set chose their three best “poets” to go forwards into the final, based on presentation, accuracy and delivery. It was extremely difficult for the judges to choose the best presentations as many pupils had put a tremendous amount of effort into the delivery of their chosen poem.
The Poetry Competition concluded on Friday 22nd January with the crowning of the top poets of each year in Thomas Arnold Hall.
