Well today we welcomed 8 little new friends to Kidooland to start their adaptation to the Bilingual playgroups. It all went really well for everyone … a chance to meet new friends (for the mums and dads too! ) discover a new environment and meet the new team. It’s a big step for everyone .. tot and parents alike and while there were a few tears on the whole everyone had smiles to share.

This year we are thrilled to welcome Gaelle to the team who was last year one of the playgroup mums. She liked it so much (!) that she offered to take on the French part of our playgroups. No stranger to the classroom, Gaelle has a degree in Science and Education and went on to leading her own class in a school in Vernon. She was also involved in the school’s programme aimed at combatting illiteracy. So bienvenue!

Tomorrow it’s the turn of the Mum and Babies who will be coming to meet Helen for the first time and get mooving and grooving! Last year this club was a sell out as it has everything .. activities for baby and coffee for mum. We’d love to hear from any of last year’s mums to see how things are going…

On Wednesday Sarah and Lizzy will be back ready to get the new sessions underway. For some this will be part of the discovery month but for many others who know us of old this will be the next step in getting to grips with the English language - we have a very exciting programme ready for you!

The fluent English speakers are not being left out either as on Wednesday afternoons, a Theatre club is being intorduced into the programme .. can’t wait to watch what comes out of that.

Saturday sees the start back of the Saturday morning groups. A few changes this time..starting a little later at 10h to avoid all the late arrivals (although there is an option to come and start @ 9h30 if you like!

In France this means taking at least one list from school and parading up and down the ailes of your local hypermarket, elbowing your way through the masses to get the paper with the right size squares, or pens of the right thickness!Negotiating with your children so that you don’t have to buy the most expensive Pet Shop or Ben 10 range and then carting it all home for labelling! The other day I found a good French site for labels www.a-qui-s.fr cost me 11eur for 75 labels and so we are now all labelled up!

Schools back tomorrow for most and for my (not so) little babes that means a new school and new friends again !

Next on the list is sorting out the extra-curricular activities as these are not covered in the school programme. Of course my non parent role means organising these for other parents and so I have spent this afternoon answering the phone non stop at Kidooland taking inscriptions for next week! Many classes are now full or pratically full so I left work tonight feeling like I’d accomplished a lot!

My own kids will be doing the new Theatre Academy and fun Piano with Lizzy for starters all in English and of course totally fun!

So from one parent to another have a smooth back to school and see some of you next week!
