A TEAM of four pupils from Hylands School in Chelmsford has made it through to the regional finals of a foreign language contest.
Eloise Berry, 12, Beth Walker, 12, Will Ireton, 13, and 13-year-old Jack Manning impressed judges with their two dialogues in either French or Spanish which they had learnt to speak fluently for the Have Your Say competition.
They now go forward to the next round to be held in Colchester in May where they will compete alongside schools from across the eastern region.
Will said: "It was a great feeling to be selected for the regional finals, I am so pleased for me and the others to be going to the next round."
Head of languages at Hylands, Maria de Purdi, said: "They are such fantastic students, who have put in so much hard work. They are a credit to the school and to their teachers who have helped them. We hope they will be successful in the finals in Colchester later in the year."
Two other students, James Adams and Karine Mercadal St Clair, both 15, also took part in the competition and received commendations.
