🇫🇷 In France, a sprig of le muguet (lily of the valley) is traditionally given on 1st May to bring good luck and happiness for the year ahead.

Delicate, bell-shaped, and beautifully fragrant, these flowers are a symbol of spring, renewal, and good fortune.

The tradition dates back to 1561 when King Charles IX of France was gifted a sprig of muguet and told it would bring him luck. He loved the idea so much, he began giving it to the ladies of his court each year.

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐬 𝐋𝐚 𝐅ê𝐭𝐞 𝐝𝐮 𝐌𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐭—𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞.

At our classes, children don’t just learn to speak French or Spanish —they also discover the rich customs and culture, like this beautiful tradition. It’s all part of bringing the language to life!

🌿 Wishing you all happiness, luck, and a fresh start this May and beyond!

Spanish club: This week the children played an alphabet (el abecedario) game! We split into two groups and first we had to put the letters back in the cards, then ordered them. This was particularly tricky for the group with the 2nd half of the letters as they worked backwards! (Z to M) Super 👌

The children did a super job, considering all the extra Spanish letters that are often found in games like this: CH, LL, RR, Ñ
