Hudghton Set For a Grilling From Pupils

North East-based MEP, Ian Hudghton, will be visiting Aberdeen’s St Peter’s RC Primary School on Thursday 21 June 2007.

Mr Hudghton is set to be grilled by the school’s pupils, many of whom come from a variety of international backgrounds. Among the native languages spoken by pupils are: Arabic, Bengali, Cantonese, Chinese (Mandarin), Dari, Dutch, English, Farsi (Iranian), Hungarian (Magyar), Indian – Tamal, Konkani, Malay (Bahasa Malaysia), Malayalam, Nepalese, Nyanja (Chichewa / Chewa), Polish, Punjabi, Russian, Setswana, Shona, Spanish and Telugu.

Mr Hudghton will be visiting as part of a European Project in P6.

Commenting, Mr Hudghton says:

“In previous visits to primary schools I have often been impressed by the frank and direct nature of the questions from pupils.

“St Peter’s RC is an internationally diverse school and with pupils from so many backgrounds I am preparing for an especially tough grilling.

“But I am delighted to be coming along to the school and help out the pupil’s European project.”
