A Taste of Portugal
Year 7 pupils at Rednock School were treated to an assembly with a difference at the end of the Summer term! Three of their Portuguese pupils, also members of Year 7, presented a talk on their native country via a series of powerpoint slides. The students involved were Luis, Ricardo and Daniel.
A great deal was learnt about Portugal's geography and capital city, the country's flag, its food and drink and famous people in history as well as in the twenty first century - characters as diverse as the explorer Vasco da Gama and faces from the football world such as Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo! The audience were encouraged to ask and answer questions and they even learnt some basic Portuguese phrases and counted in the language as well.
The talk concluded with images of beautiful golden beaches and azure seas on the Algarve. This made us all think of the Summer holidays that were about to begin and I am sure many of us would have liked to hop on a plane bound for Portugal there and then!
