The Modern Foreign Languages’ Department at Bolton School Girls’ Division celebrated the 20th anniversary of the European Day of Languages by encouraging pupils to become involved in a Great European Bake Off. Girls across all year groups were invited – as individuals or working in a group - to design and bake a birthday celebration dessert. Entries were subsequently judged and the winner, Y7 pupil Hanaa Sheikh, was revealed in a European Day of Languages assembly later the following week.
Head of Languages Mrs Neil said: ‘We had over 20 entries - such an incredible response. We were particularly impressed with the originality of the entries and the stories behind the creations. It was extremely difficult to choose a winner! Hanaa chose to design and bake a Norwegian Kransekake or wreath cake, as she found it so eye-catching. She added her own twist by making it a funfetti cake, filled with sweets.'
