Twenty two Year 9 German students had a real treat yesterday, January 24, when they experienced learning outside the classroom and had fun too.

Lead Practitioner, Ms Prichard and German Assistant, Miss Lottmann  took the teenage linguists to see German Rap and Soul Artist, Chefket, perform at the Cockpit Theatre in Marylebone.

Chefket was visiting London as part of his European tour and he set aside a date to perform to UK students learning German. This was organised by The Goethe Institut and was a fantastic opportunity for our students to experience modern German culture along with other similar aged students from other schools across the Capital.

Ms Prichard commented: “The boys were all very excited and enthusiastic and it was a great opportunity to hear lots of German and learn new vocabulary as well as plenty of opportunities for audience participation. Chefket’s rapping was pretty impressive too. One of our students was brave enough to get on stage and perform to the whole audience earning  the loudest applause of the day.’ Ein guter Tag’ as Chefket might say  – (the title of one of his songs.)”
