Detective Talia on the case in Bognor Regis!
A group of 12 languages students from Oathall Community College took part in an enrichment day with a deadly twist on Thursday 6 February at the University of Chichester’s Bognor Regis campus.
The Year 9 students worked with others from nearby schools to complete a variety of activities based on the theme of murder, mystery, suspense. The session was organised by trainee languages teachers at the university.
The young detectives had to listen to witness reports in French, Spanish, German and Italian, translate clues and read official documents throughout the day in a bid to solve the crime.
Monsieur Henri, languages teacher and enrichment leader at Oathall said: “Our students were enthused by opportunity to put their language skills into practice and meet students from other schools. Italian was totally new to them but they found they could understand a lot of it as the language is quite similar to French and Spanish. I would like to thank the organisers of this wonderful event; it was a fantastically fun learning experience.”
