What does Jenga have to do with studying a modern foreign language? Last week our E24 Year 11 GCSE Spanish students competed against each other (except Rhys’s group that was using the much smaller “son of Jenga” kit) to construct the tallest free-standing tower possible in five minutes.
The construction of the towers formed part of an immersion session on Spanish food and festivals, and connected to the Spanish “castells” or free-standing “human towers” tradition, practised in Catalonia, the Balearic Islands and the in the Valencian community.
