The learning games encompassed a variety of words, including colours and verbs along with the numerous foods, and the students’ pronunciations and accents were extremely impressive. All their hard work was then rewarded with a feast of traditional Spanish tapas for lunch, with chorizo, olives, tortilla and Spanish meatballs all on the menu. ![](https://www.birkenheadparkschool.com/images/Meatballs.jpg) Ms Pineau visits Portland Primary School from the Birkenhead Park School each week to give students a head-start with their foreign language abilities, and the Year 5 trip to the School helped to bring all their learning to life before they soon make the step up to secondary school.
