During the school year, we have introduced one-to-one story telling. The children have really enjoyed this moment just for them, which allows each child to discover the chosen story at their own pace. One-to-one story time not only gives the child a moment to really absorb a story but also enables us to develop attention, memory, listening and language skills. Some of our English library books are interactive and give a ´hands on ‘approach´ to the child’s own learning, which they really love! Books are chosen by level and vary greatly in topic and design. We have found that this technique, as well as the group story time, is effective in advancing spoken language too.

Bagpipes, cimbalon, Spanish guitar, Irish flute, crate, zither, ukelele, guitarron, vihuela are some of the traditional instrument sounds we have learnt in our circle time. We made an interesting game of sound and image match where the children heard the sound and guessed which instrument it came from. The bagpipes and the Spanish guitar were some of our favourites.
