French Fun for all


Swing ball, football and tent building!


A good time was had by all!


As the children built a 'tent', I decided it would be good to read: 'Titou construit sa maison'.

Les enfants on construit une 'tent', alors j'ai lu 'Titou construit sa maison'.

Can I go in your tent!
We saw spiders in the garden so we sang incy wincy spider/ la toute petite araignée (my own translation of the song) and there's a spider on the floor/ il y a une araignée sur le sol (also my own translation)

Nous avons vu des araignée dans le jardin alors nous avons chanté incy wincy spider/ la toute petite araignée (ma traduction) and there's a spider on the floor/ il y a une araignée sur le sol (aussi ma traduction)
