The hall was full of colour and energy this week as Year 6 students took to the stage for the annual languages assembly, a celebration of everything they have learned so far this year.
Each class had prepared a performance in their language of study, blending song, dance and theatre to bring their lessons off the page. French Beginners opened proceedings with Sauvez la planète, a spirited five-minute piece on protecting the environment. The Chinese class followed with Super Idol的笑容, a lively performance packed with rhythm and enthusiasm.
Italian was well represented across the morning with two performances: the confident Bella Ciao from Year 6 Italian and the charming Romolo e Remo from the Beginners group – a nod to the legend of Rome’s founding.
The French class returned to the stage with Mama Africa a four-minute piece celebrating rhythm and unity while the German class transported the audience back in time with Reise ins Mittelalter – Journey into the Middle Ages.
Closing out the language performances Japanese students staged an ambitious two-part piece: a quiz show segment followed by ちきゅうをまもろう！ (Let’s Protect the Earth) combining humour and heart across a five-minute set.
Beyond the performances the assembly also recognised outstanding achievement in athletics. Head of Primary School PDHPE Lucy Haynes presented the Athletics Trophies acknowledging students’ hard work throughout the season with Queen and Kind of the track being recognised and House champions hosting the shield.

Principal’s outstanding achievement awards were presented to Rydah and Aroha presented by Deputy Principal Junior School Sarah Herbert.
A special thank you goes to all the languages teachers whose dedication and planning throughout the year made this assembly possible. Their work in the classroom prepared students not just to perform but to feel confident and proud sharing their learning on stage.
