This week at The Children’s House we are starting our group project all about our world – we are so lucky this year to have children with family members from all over the globe, so we will be taking advantage of this & inviting family members in to talk to the children about customs or traditions that you might practice at certain times of the year, to show us dress or foods that might be a bit more unusual, or to teach us words or songs in different languages, alongside learning about traditional Irish customs & celebrations!

The children will be starting to make their world map this week, sponge painting the oceans! We will be looking at the globe & continents & learning our continents song, as well as learning how to sign in Lámh the signs for “hello” & “gooodbye”. We would love if families who use other languages other than English at home would let us know how they greet each other in these languages, so please text us the words for “hello” & “goodbye” and we can all learn together!
