Year 9 Explore German Christmas Traditions

By Chris Wakeling, Teacher of German and French, Head of Samui House

As we approach the festive season, World Languages students in Year 9 had a special opportunity to learn some interesting and unusual facts all about Christmas traditions in German speaking countries during their MFL2 lesson this week.

The students collaboratively went on a QR hunt around the World Languages faculty, collecting and recording information about traditions old and new.

They then put their newfound knowledge to the test in a challenging team Kahoot. They discovered interesting facts about German Christmas markets, who is St Nicholas and when does he come, the history of Advent calendars and even learned about the modern tradition of the Christmas Pickle!

Frohe Weihnachten!
