Every Tuesday lunchtime, Madame Symons, the French teacher who teaches French weekly to Years 3 to 6, runs a club for the young ones here at St Martin de Porres.
For half an hour, a group of a dozen of children from Reception, Year 1 and Year 2, has great fun singing songs, doing finger rhymes, "reading" picture books and playing little games... all in French!
The fees are £4.50 per session and children sign in for a half-term period.
