THE modern languages department at Tavistock College organised a variety of events recently in celebration of the annual 'European Day of Languages'.

They activities included a guest speaker in assembly and a Eurovision-style singing and dancing extravaganza for Year 7s filmed by teachers and judged by Year 8 students.

The competition was enjoyed by everyone who participated and by the audience.

There were six entries — Cucurachini performed 'El Cucurucho', an energetic Spanish version of the well-known 'Okey Cokey'; Les Muppets performed 'Si tu as de la joie au Coeur'; a French version of 'If You're Happy and You Know It'; the Samurais performed a Japanese song, 'Panda, usagi, koala', making their own face masks; Un Deux Trois performed the French 'Alouette'; Los Lobos gave a rendition of 'La Bamba' with some air guitar work, and El Equipo kept everyone entertained with their performance of the 'Waka Waka' song.

The winning team was Les Muppets. Their performance can be viewed on the college website http://www.tavistockcollege.devon.sch.uk">www.tavistockcollege.devon.sch.uk
