Learning about Russia

The Language of the Month across EarlyYears is Russian and Natalia, Rodion’s mum and Katya, Raya’s mum, came in to teach the children some Russian language and a little about Russian culture. The children saw some beautiful photos of buildings in Moscow and St Petersburg that looked like fairy tale castles, as well as photos of Rodion showing all of the 4 seasons in Russia. We learnt that our names look different when written in Russian. We finished with a story read in Russian and English that was very similar to the story of The Gingerbread Man.

Thank you so much to Natalia and Katya for making the visit so memorable.
