Bright Sparks celebrate French graduation at The Mount

St. Mary's College has been honouring the latest ‘graduates’ of its Kindergarten French course. 48 youngsters at Bright Sparks have just completed a 12-week course in the language which is spoken by an estimated 300 million people worldwide.

The lessons have been taking place at The Mount, courtesy of Specialist Teaching Assistant Nicky Lopez.

The graduation ceremony was attended by around 60 proud parents and grandparents, with all the children receiving colours and a certificate to mark their achievement. The French course followed hot on the heels of a similar Bright Sparks course in Spanish which proved equally successful at the end of last year.

Head of Early Years, Alice Haigh, said, “I’d like to say a big ‘merci beaucoup’ to Ms Lopez for all the hard work she put into this course, and also to the parents and other relatives who have been encouraging the children at home. Once again it’s been very rewarding to see our young pupils tackling a new language with such enthusiasm.”

Holiday Club Beach Walk

Well we did it, everybody from both Holiday Club sites were out on the beach for 10.15am. We had a great session and it wasn't too cold or blowy. Some of the children were really brave and walked out with the staff to the edge of the sea and dipped their wellies in, we looked for shells, drew in the sand, played football and finally trudged our way back up to The Mount at about 11.20am.

A good time was had by all and I believe they all slept well that night !
