Way back in March a number of children from Bannockburn took part in round 1 of the Junior Language Challenge, a competition run by Utalk to raise money for the children's charity One Billion. After lots of hours of studying Spanish in their spare time, 3 competitors, Karan, Meltem and Natalia, got through to the second round, where the new language to learn and be tested on was Khmer - do you know which country this language comes from?
On Friday 14th September the children, their families and Mrs Seaton visited Cranmore School in Horsley for the live semi-finals, where they competed in a tense but thrilling live Khmer language challenge against 40 other children from schools across the South-East of England.
Whilst they narrowly missed out on places in the top 10, we are all extremely impressed by their newly acquired language skills and are very proud of their amazing efforts.
Well done everyone!
