FREE English / French story and rhyme time

Bilingual Babies sessions:
Come and have some fun play in the garden if it's nice weather, do some colouring, watch a French cartoon, listen to stories, sing and discover some well known English nursery rhymes and how you can sing them in French.

No knowledge of French necessary!

There will be time for colouring and puzzles and for parents to chat in French or listen for approx. 45 min followed by approx. 35 min songs and stories. Adults get to get conversation practice or improve their listening comprehension while the children are playing.

Venue: 5 Bibury Road, Old Walcot, Swindon, SN3 1DD
Date:  about once a month check the posts page for the next one  
Cost: Free though a donation is appreciated

Paces are limited so please book so I know how many children to prepare for.  Thank you.

For more
If you would like to contact me with dates/ times that suit you, I will be happy to run some more sessions in Old Walcot. £3 per child for 30 min of bilingual rhymes, songs and stories.

If you already have a group of people interested (friends, birthday party, toddler group, pre-school  for example) then I would be happy to travel in and around Swindon for one off session. £3/child - min £20 per 30 min session.
