Languages and International Blog
Welcome to our Languages and International Blog. At Bridgewater, we have chosen Spanish as the language we teach, as it is widely spoken. This is taught to all children in years 3 to 6 by Mrs D'Agostini. We engage the children through playing games, singing songs and stories as well as developing their grasp of grammar and the written language. Please celebrate the children’s learning with us by commenting on the blog posts below. ¡Hasta luego!
We have been accredited with the International School Award (ISA) 2022-2025 in recognition of our international focus. We were praised by the British Council for our commitment to embedding a rich and creative range of international work.
Carnival!
We had great fun at Northampton Carnival on a very hot day! The Carnival team led by Miss Williams worked with Paul from Festival Road creating amazing decorations marking the 75th anniversary of Windrush. We were welcomed with waving and cheering and received donations to our chosen children's cancer charity as we travelled the route!
Mexican Hot Chocolate
As a final Mexican-themed activity, years 5 and 6 had the opportunity to try Mexican-style hot chocolate. We added chocolate sauce, ground cinnamon and chilli powder to chocolate powder to make the drink. We had many positive responses when tasting it and realised that we only needed to add a little chilli powder!
