Dutch language and Culture Options

Your Dutch language-speaking children may have a choice as whether or not to follow the school’s Dutch language programme. You may wish to talk to Miss Els, the Dutch teacher, before you make your decision. The Dutch language course work begins in Primary 2.

If your child is relatively new to the English language the options will be delayed for a period of a term or more to support the child’s learning of the English language. After consulting you, the school will make the decision on when is the best time for your child to start with the your selected Dutch programme.

  The options are; 



A

 

 

All the Dutch language work on offer.

Your child studies Dutch language with Miss Els when the rest of the class attends their French lessons.
You child studies Dutch with Miss Els on one afternoon session (approximately one hour) when the rest of their class continues with the normal IPC work.

Your child attends the Dutch culture sessions (one hour) on a Wednesday afternoon when the rest of the class are attending the school’s own culture sessions.

 

B

No Dutch at all.

Your child does not attend any Dutch lessons in school time whatsoever. Your child follows the school’s French programme.
