On Thursday morning, FHS was immersed in culture as Years 7, 8 and 9 took part in the annual Modern Foreign Languages Poetry Competition. The event was judged by Ms Nikki Maxwell, a former FHS pupil who studied German at A Level and is now going on to study History of Art with Italian at UCL.
Pupils recited poetry from around the world with dazzling pronunciation, confidence and expression. After several closely contested rounds, the worthy winners were Noor D (Year 7, French), Thea S (Year 8, French), Lavinia W (Year 9, French), Lyra C (Year 9, Spanish), Sophie FSD (Year 8, Spanish), Lily H (Year 9, German) and Anousha M (Year 8, German).
Bibi Z was crowned winner of the “Poems from Around the World” category with a beautiful recital in Italian, while the overall winner of the competition was Sophie FSD (Year 8).
Congratulations to all the pupils who participated in such a wonderful celebration of language and culture.
