'Hola! Arrivederci!' These aren't words you would normally expect to hear in a British nursery, but Kelsall Avenue Nursery School in Blackburn is different. Here, the children can count to five in both Spanish and Italian and are learning all about life in Turin, Tuscany and Andalucia.
For the past two years, the staff and children at Kelsall Avenue have been part of an exciting Comenius Joint Curriculum project managed by the British Council. It has linked them with three nurseries in northern and central Italy, and southern Spain.
Children from all four nurseries have made booklets about their homes and families, and exchanged photos, artwork, telephone calls and e-mails.
