Evening Workshops
We offer sports activities with a pedagogy and situations adapted to the age of the children, including educational and creative games. These workshops are available for children aged 4-12, from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, excluding holiday periods.
Extracurricular activities in our bilingual school in Paris include:
Chinese Language and Culture
Children discover the world's oldest language still spoken today through a rich and fascinating millennia-old culture. Chinese instructors guide them through a playful and progressive learning method designed specifically for young Europeans. Children explore the language and Chinese characters through etymology in a playful manner.
Music
Through movement, dance, and musical games, children bring out the music they naturally have within them. Using active pedagogies (E. Dalcroze, M. Montessori, etc.) and a sensory approach, children develop listening skills, teamwork, creativity, and musical expression.
How Games Shape the Brain
Children end their day with classmates through games that stimulate collaboration, language skills, problem-solving, develop original thinking, respect for rules, and self-control.
Judo
A true educational sport, Judo allows everyone to become more skillful, more flexible, stronger, and learn to respect rules, discover teamwork, and assess strengths and weaknesses to progress.
Boxing
Children learn punching and kicking techniques, as taught in French boxing or kickboxing, ground defense techniques like judo or jiu-jitsu, and throwing techniques like wrestling or aikido. Above all, they learn to protect themselves, dodge, and parry.
Fencing
Fencing is an art: the art of touching one's opponent with the edge or point of a (white) weapon on authorized parts, without being touched first. Fencing is a discipline that offers various values to its practitioners, such as respect and self-control.
Theatre
Discovering theatre in a playful spirit, through games that work on voice, body expression, diction, improvisation exercises that develop imagination and creativity, and work on classical and contemporary texts, also written by the children in the class. Here, the pleasure is in playing, overcoming shyness, and creating a performance at the end of the year.
Chess
Chess is a wonderful game and sport that can be practiced throughout one's life. It develops numerous qualities, both intellectual and psychological. In children and adolescents, it fosters perseverance and improves self-confidence. We emphasize a playful and relaxed approach while attaching great importance to individual effort, progress, and concentration during exercises.
Wednesday Bilingual Workshops
Every Wednesday morning, excluding holiday periods, from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM, Galiée School offers the following activities in English for children aged 3 to 6, led by an English-speaking teacher:
Activités ludiques en anglais
We welcome children from nursery to kindergarten, from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM.
- Music and traditional nursery rhymes
- Discovering the world
- Storytelling
- Arts and crafts
Indeed, a language is spoken, but it is also mimed, sung, and danced. Play occupies an essential place, and children associate the language with this notion. They awaken, enrich their vocabulary, have fun, and progress at their own pace.
Multicultural Activities in French and English
We welcome children from nursery to kindergarten, from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM. The children can be dropped off between 8:30 AM and 9:00 AM and picked up between 11:30 AM and 12:00 PM. The program includes three activities:
- Music in French: Through movement, dance, and musical games, children bring out the music they have naturally within them.
- Plastic arts in French: Developing children's creativity through drawing, painting, and object construction.
- In English: Introductions to circus arts, dance awareness, etc., diversifying the proposed program. Children will practice all three activities every Wednesday with evolving objectives and themes throughout the year.
Socio-Cultural Morning
Music Cinema Media by The master compagnie
We welcome children aged 7 to 10 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. During the morning, various artistic activities in French will be proposed.
"Prepare to listen to hear, prepare to watch to see"
This year, the theme of Wednesday mornings will revolve around photography and cinema, with music also playing a role. Your children will have the opportunity to be at the heart of the cinematographic projects we will carry out throughout the year. Photography will find its place as a full-fledged work of art, with each image and sound created by your children.
