The final two lessons have been busy building Eiffel Towers with paper straws! They all tried their very best and their towers were fantastique! It has been a pleasure teaching this class for two years and I would like to wish them all the very best for their future language learning journey.

Big Bikes Cycle Training - 7.10.22

We welcomed Big Bikes into school to help Penguin class practise their cycling skills. The children were all amazing and were determined to achieve their level 1 award. Unfortunately, due to a very heavy downpour in the afternoon, we were only able to capture pictures of the first group.
