This group is for children aged 3 to 5 years old of different abilities in Finnish. We learn about Finnish culture, activate children to use Finnish and learn new vocabulary through play, singing, reading, crafts and drama. Classes are fun, relaxed and full of activities. It’s a great way to meet other children with similar backgrounds and learn Finnish language and culture. All classes have a different theme and in every class we sing and play familiar songs and games. The focus in this group is to have fun together whilst building everyone's confidence to use Finnish. 

Hi, my name is Susanna and I run the younger children's 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!
