A sneak peek of our past events - what you missed!

Our event started three weeks ago in a small studio in Prenzlauer berg. What started off as just an idea had come into being after weeks of planning.  What goes on at TGIF you ask?  Well here is a run down of the usual activities.  After a brief introduction, Nicola (the organizer) reads a story that is projected on one of the walls.  During this time children are engaged and amazed at the projected images while the story is read slowly and clearly.  Every now and then a simple question is asked to encourage participation and learning. 

 The story one week was about a boy who tried to catch a star, so at the end the children were asked to come up to help spell the word STAR with the paper stars that Nicola had handed out at the beginning of the class. Children love to help and participate and an activity such as this one will be included each week to encourage them to take part and learn something along the way.

Then it's time for the singing, dancing and prancing.  Two talented young musicians from Norway have been entertaining our group for the past three weeks. "Peabop and Koogi" sing, play guitar, piano and on special occasions even a double bass!

The children get a chance to make some of their own music when maracas are handed out so that everyone can "shake it" a little
