Summer fairs are a class act

The competition is run by SCILT in conjunction with the University of Strathclyde and St Andrew’s University and is aimed at young language learners to improve their pronunciation and breadth of vocabulary.

Participants have to correctly spell as many words as possible in Spanish in a minute, using the Spanish alphabet.

All of this in front of an audience of MSPS, representatives from the European Commission, representatives from various embassies and the judges from Strathclyde and St Andrew’s Universities.

Not only does the competition improve pupils’ linguistic skills but also study skills and memory.

St John Ogilvie head teacher Eddie Morrison said: “The girls all agreed that it was a superb event. They are all keen to continue learning Spanish and hope to become fluent one day. They are already well on their way!” Udston Primary are hosting their annual summer fair on Saturday, June 4 from 10am till noon.

There will be a variety of stalls including ‘Say It With A Frame’, Serena’s Cakes and Crafts, Shell’s Jewels and Gems, Candy Cart, and Sew off the Hook.

A home baking stall will also be there on the day to sell some scrumptious treats. Be sure to look out for many opportunities to win great prizes at the fantastic raffle and tombola table.
