Ten Tors
Blundell’s School had five Ten Tors Teams who completed the gruelling Ten Tors challenge.
We aim to give children an eagerness to learn languages and appreciate other cultures, countries and people.
We provide children with the chance to develop their listening, reading, writing and speaking skills whilst acquiring good pronunciation. We aim to make language learning exciting and fun through extensive use of our own materials, iPads to record rôle plays and language learning apps. Children progress through the years from Nursery where action songs, games and simple conversations help introduce everyday vocabulary to Year 6 where children build their vocabulary, confidence in speaking and knowledge of grammar ready for the next stage of Senior School. Children in Years 5 and 6 also have the opportunity to see a French play performed by a visiting theatre company.
