Parents are launching a Checkers (Draughts) Club for kids from 6 years old who want to play or learn. It will start at 3 pm on Sunday 29. For those who want to join and have checkers/draughts games at home, bring them!
The Académie des Petits Musiciens (https://academiedespetitsmusiciens.com) will be coming to the Club on Sunday 13 Oct at 11 am to give a musical workshop to 1-5 year-olds. It is for members only and free. The session lasts 45 minutes. We can form a group of up to 10 children but, if there is enough demand, we can split the groups into 1-3 years and 3-5 years (11:00-11:45 and 11:50-12:35) which would open it up to 20 children. Please email if you would like to join.
The Académie des Petits Musiciens (https://academiedespetitsmusiciens.com) will be coming to the Club on Sunday 17 Nov at 11 am to hold another musical workshop, which is already fully subscribed.
L’Académie des Petits Musiciens (https://academiedespetitsmusiciens.com) will be coming to the club regularly: two Sundays a month for a 1.5hr workshop (from 11 to 12:30) for 3-7 year-olds (as they have previously) during the school year. It will be tied with the English Breakfast and Sunday Brunch so if there is a breakfast or brunch, there will be a music class (but not during the school holidays).
The arrangement is that if a child is signed up for the breakfast or brunch together with a parent they have free access to the 1.5 hr class. If you don’t want to sign up for the breakfast/brunch, it is €25 per child for the class but payment will still be via the appropriate Breakfast/Brunch HelloAsso link.
Basically, there will be a workshop if there is a brunch or breakfast during the school calendar.
