Bilingual pre-school to teach Cornish language

Provision
The UK's first Cornish language pre-school opens this weekend at Cornwall College.

The pre-school, funded by the Cornish Language Partnership, will hold weekly sessions at the college's purpose-built creche in the Camborne Jarenza Centre.

The parent-led sessions will be run by volunteers for two hours every Saturday morning.

Children aged two to six will learn Cornish through play while their parents are in the classroom learning the language. They will be taught Cornish songs, numbers and basic phrases, cook regional food and learn about traditional festivals and customs.

Parents will help make Cornish language resources for the children, such as storybooks and flash cards.

Professionals with specialisms in Cornish will also be brought in to work with the children.
