What a GATE day !

Today the GATE Club theme was International Masterchef as each GATE Language invited native speakers into our classrooms to demonstrate and explain their country's culinary culture. Instructions and recipes were provided in the target language and students listened, watched, took notes and practised their cooking preparation skills. The day's aim was to give students a taste of the country's cuisine. In German there was Strudel and Black Forest cake, Chinese had noodles and fried rice (the smell was incredibly inviting and the taste was even better). Indonesian had noodles and Italian had Tiramisu, Pasta All'Amatriciana and Pasta Alla Carbonara. We must thank all our native speakers and helpers including Simonetta Mencaccini, Alice Marini, Genny Mancusi, Geoff Davis, Hong Qi and . Our Languages Team gave our GATE students a memorable experience, an enriching insight into an element of culture that is as integral as a country's language to their identity; their food. We look forward to the next GATE Club for more exciting learning adventures !
