Blogtastic!
Here at Weald we see the value of blogs a source of information to the wider community. Hence the launch of our WoK to Weald MFL Transition blog! Do take a visit to check out our virtual tour which our year 10 "Les Langues et la Technologie" students put together in July 2009. See also the student reviews on the making of the virtual tour earlier in this blog.
