On 20 March 2 schools (Wingrove Primary and Excelsior Academy) visited ilab:learn to learn Spanish through Flamenco dance with our new ENACT materials (https://enacteuropa.com/?q=node/488) and to make and eat delicious datiles con queso tapas!
On 20 March, as part of the Festival of Languages events at the Great North Museum, 90 children from Chantry Middle School Y7, Our Lady & St Anne's Y4, and Wingrove Y3 learned Māori and played with their Poi! https://enacteuropa.com/?q=node/417 Their favourite word was, of course, kutikuti! Feedback from schools included: "Maori craft activity excellent. Pupils enjoyed hands on experience of something they had never done before."
