HOUSEMARTINS MONTESSORI BABY CLASSES

My name is Raquel and I am a Montessori teacher with over 10 years of experience working in Early Years.

Each week we will explore a new topic through age appropriate Nursery Rhymes, Stories and a Practical life activity or sensorial baskets.

Join my fun, creative classes where I focus on your baby’s holistic development, including language, social-emotional growth and fine/gross motor skills.

There’s 2 classes daily: The Little Swallows - newborn to 12 months; and The Housemartins Class aimed at 12 months to 36 months. Have a look on my website for more details.

Winter Half Term topics will be:

5-9 th January: Cold - Brrrr- a very sensorial class where we will look at what we wear at this time of year, to actually feeling a piece of ice!

12-16th January: New Year, New Routine - we will continue exploring what we wear this time through a lovely touch and feel basket in The Little Swallows class. The Housemartins will practice putting on their warm hats and gloves on!

19-23th January: Scotland- Burns Night- The Little Swallows will have a lovely treasure basket with oats and for those weaning/solid food it will be a fun tasting class with taties and neeps. Bring your tartan if you have!

26th - 30th January: Colour: Red. The Little Swallows will have baskets with red items and The Housemartins will express their creativity scribbling and painting with red! Wearing red clothes is encouraged but not mandatory.

2nd-7th February: Carnival- one of my favourite festivals growing up in Portugal. This week we will dress up in our favourite costumes and have a party! In Brazil and Italy they also celebrate Carnival. We will look at pictures, masks, costumes and listen to Samba! Put your dancing shoes on!

9th- 13th February: We are celebrating Love. The Housemartins class will make a St. Valentines card and we will explore stories about love in The Little Swallows Class.

Looking forward to meeting you in January!

There’s a lift you can use to access the room and there’s space for prams. Please inform me via email in case you have special added and if your child has any allergies prior to the class.
