Our Kindergarten has 6 years of experience in organising the English Song Festival for all the kindergartens in Lodz.

This year a group of 5 year-olds (IIIA) prepared a song to perform at the Festival. It was a lovely combination of singing and dancing.

After being awarded during the Festival, the group decided to present their show at the local picnic on the occasion of the children's day.

Here you can see the performance:
