I have been the English teacher of the Petit Prince School since November 2009.
I teach the older children on Thursday, and have a small group of pupils in my class. We have fun in our lessons and the children enjoy playing ‘alphabet bingo’ and ‘matching pairs’ which helps them recognise and pronounce the letters in English.
The children love to show me they can count in English and we play bingo most weeks-they love to win!
We have just moved on to learn different animals in English-which involved us making animal sounds!
We have music lessons and I have helped the children learn ‘Jingle Bells’ in English, which they sang with great effort at the Christmas show!
Lunch time is another opportunity to get the children to learn the word for the food they are eating in English.
Although I don’t speak arabic and only a little French we are able to communicate well. I very much enjoy arriving on Thursday mornings to shouts of ‘Hello Nicola’.
