belingual language clubs

FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY IN YOUR HOME LANGUAGE

Belingual language clubs are clubs led by volunteer parents  and volunteers where families with under school-aged children, who speak the same language as one of their home languages come together to play, sing, craft and have fun.  The clubs support children's language and identity development and give families an opportunity to experience their language and culture in a community.

Belingual activities are pedagogically designed to support your children’s language and identity development, but most of all we hope that children (and parents) will have fun, feel they are part of a community and form a positive relationship with their home language and culture.

Parents play an important role in clubs. We hope that you will encourage and help both your children and the other children to attend. Get involved, sing, dance and have fun with your children! Please also remember that our clubs are run by volunteers (who are often parents themselves, they are not early years educators) and they will always be happy to get a helping hand during the club. The more involved parents are in the club, but more fun and engaging it will be for the whole family!

Communication:
Communication related to the club will mainly be through the club’s WhatsApp Group, which you will be sent a link to once you have registered. 

A few things to remember:
  • Children must always attend with a parent/guardian who are responsible for the child’s participation and safety during the club.
  • CANCELLATIONS: If you cannot attend, please let the volunteers know via WhatsApp group.
  • Please bring a small snack for your child, we will have a short snack break.
