๐Forget the chocolate eggs for a minuteโฆ if you had to pick just ONE Easter bread, whatโs it going to be?
โจ Soft, spiced hot cross buns?
โจ Sweet, syrupy torrijas?
โจ Fluffy brioche?
โจ Or the iconic Colomba cake?
Itโs a tough choiceโฆ but weโre curious ๐Which one are you choosing (and why)?

The flying bells are off to visit the Pope in Rome, before flying back to deliver lovely chocolate eggs, bells and hens to the children in France on Sunday morning! ๐๐๐ฅ๐ซ

More Than Just Language Learning โ Exploring Spanish Culture!
At La Jolie Ronde, we do more than teach Spanishโwe bring the language to life through traditions, culture, and celebrations! We give children a head start in languages while making learning fun, engaging, and enriching. From flamenco to fiestas, we spark curiosity, build confidence, and open young minds to a world of opportunities.
For example, pupils learn all about Easter or Semana Santa (Holy Week)โa time of religious festivities and family gatherings across Spain. One of the most cherished traditions? Enjoying special Easter treats like:
๐ ๐ง๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ท๐ฎ๐ โ A classic Easter dessert eaten on Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter. Made from stale bread soaked in sweetened milk (or sometimes wine), then dipped in egg and fried to golden perfection. Delicious and rich in tradition!
๐ In our Spanish classes, children donโt just learn the languageโthey discover the customs, celebrations, and everyday life of Spanish-speaking countries. A fantastic way to enrich their learning experience!

I was thrilled to see this lovely picture drawn by Robin this week! Robin is four years old! Sheโs been learning Spanish with me for only a short while and is enjoying learning how to say the colours in Spanish so much that she did this at home and brought it into class! She was helped by her big sister, Elle, who is also one of my superstar pupils! Well done, girls! ๐๐๐ช๐ธ

Every year on 2 February, France celebrates Candlemas. Traditionally, it marks the presentation of baby Jesus and the purification of the Virgin Mary, and symbolises light and hope as winter begins to fade.
In France, this celebration is known as ๐๐ฎ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐น๐ฒ๐๐ฟ, and families mark the day by enjoying delicious crรชpes โ sweet or savoury โ often accompanied by cider, traditionally served in a small round bowl rather than a glass.
Itโs a lovely example of how food, culture, and tradition are beautifully woven into language learning.
Soโฆ are you sweet or savoury?
