Hi everyone

Hope you are all well and looking forward to Christmas. Unfortunately we have had to cancel the Christmas event planned for this Thursday, 16th December, because of the new Covid restrictions. So there will be no cafe session this Thursday.

We are hoping to be back in the centre from Monday the 10th January to restart the cafe next term. For updates nearer the time, please see this blog or the Lexicon facebook page.

In the meantime, here are some festive videos to help you practise your English over the holidays!

Have a very merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year!

Hello

We’re very pleased to announce that the Language Cafe will be reopening in the Open Learning Centre from Monday 13th September.

As before there will be two sessions a week, on Mondays and Thursdays, from 10 – 12. You can attend one session per week, and we repeat Monday’s session on Thursday.

The session will cost £1.50 and this will include a tea or coffee if you want one.

Each week we will cover a different topic relevant to life in the UK. You will be in a small group with other learners of a similar level.

We look forward to seeing you at the Cafe!

Best wishes

Hello!

Some exciting news – next week we are going to meet at Bracknell’s Arts Centre – South Hill Park. This will be instead of the Zoom sessions, so we will be able to meet in person!

The trips will be on Tuesday 29th June(for the Monday group, and we will team up with another class), and on Thursday 1st July for the Thursday group.

Please meet on the Cafe Terrace at 10 o’clock – the terrace is round the back of the main entrance, overlooking the parkland, and there are picnic tables. Please make sure: wear suitable clothing and footwear for walking. Bring hats, suntan cream and water, bring your phone, bring a notebook and pen. We are going to look at the house and gardens and discuss what happens at the centre.

We look forward to seeing you next week!
