The 2017-2018 Pre-School year is off to a great start! Our Junior & Senior Pre-School classes have been busy with loads of activities such as investigating frozen dinosaur eggs, holding wiggly worms, learning about hedgehogs, making and tasting fresh fruit juice, practising using scissors and playing outside - just to name a few! Check out all the fun we have had so far... 🤓

Last week we said a tearful goodbye to our lovely Mairead. We'd like to thank her for all her hard work (and beautiful singing of the Wheels on the Bus!) over the years. Although we will all miss her a lot, we wish her the best for the future! 😘

Look at all the fun we are having in the Baby Room, from playing in the tunnel to making artwork that is out of this world! 👶🌠🌛

We can't wait to kick off the 2017-2018 Pre-School Year here at BEL! See you all on Thursday, 31st August for lots of fun and learning. 😁

Last week we said goodbye to one of our fabulous Pre-School teachers, Ciara. She is embarking on an exciting new adventure as a teacher in Abu Dhabi. We will miss her loads, but we all wish her the best of luck! 🍀

Today our pre-schoolers and summer campers joined together for a sensory experience in the great outdoors. The teachers lined up several boxes filled with various materials such as whipped cream and glitter, corn flakes, flour, mud and even frozen vegetables! The children had great fun testing out the different textures with their feet and describing how the contents of each box felt. They especially loved having glittery feet at the end of the activity! 👍☺️

Bonjour! This week our Toddlers had a ball learning all about France. They made flags and learned about French culture and sights. They also sampled French cuisine, from crêpes to pâté. Yum! :)

We said goodbye to our amazing Assistant Manager & Pre-school teacher, Dorota, today. You will be missed by everyone here Dorota, and we thank you for being an inspiring, supportive and nurturing presence at our centre over the last 10 years. We wish you every happiness in your new position. Don't forget us! 💋

Bump to baby 👶 - welcome back Brittany! Delighted to have you and your little one at the centre. We missed you! 😀
