0 to 2 year olds
Muskari is aimed for babies and toddlers up to 3 years old. The parents always stay with their little ones during these sessions. Muskari starts at 10am, the first session involves singing of Finnish nursery rhymes, playing and sharing stories together. Feel free to bring your own cushion or blanket with you. There is a short break between sessions during which you are invited to join us in our cafe area to chat with other parents and enjoy some Finnish treats. The second session is held together with the 3 to 5 year olds. Children are invited to follow their own interest to play and do some arts and crafts.
Muskari teacher
Hi, my name is Susanna and I run the Muskari group. I am also the vice chairman here at Bristol's Finnish school. I am qualified as an Early Years Educator and I work in local schools and nurseries. It is important to me to be able to bring Finnish language and culture as part of the children's every day life. It is easy for everyone to join our friendly Muskari group. I am looking forward to singing Finnish nursery rhymes and playing together. Everyone is welcome to join us in our school and Finnish community; whether you are a fellow Finn or a Finland enthusiast. Come and join us for a cup of coffee and a chat. I am looking forward to seeing you soon!
