As well as learning more about the project, which aims to take foreign languages out into the community and make them part of children’s daily lives, those attending got a taste of what is to come.

This month there is a pet treasure hunt, with pictures of animals displayed, and the children – those from around a dozen schools are invited to take part – then encouraged to spot them and name them in a foreign language.

Look around the shops and see if you can catch them - and get your Gazette on Wednesday for more details and photos of the launch.
