This week was the Christmas Singalong where families, children and staff came together to sing Christmas songs. We celebrated the festive season by having warm drinks, Gingerbread Men and mince pies. Children were delighted to receive presents from Santa. They also took home their salt dough Christmas decorations which they made in class. The children enjoyed their Christmas parties by dancing, playing fun games and eating party food. Thank you again to all our families for donating food towards the parties and making the Singalong a very special event. We wish all our families and children a very Happy Christmas and a Great New Year!

The Children are so enthusiastic about the ‘Gingerbread Man’ story particularly when playing with props and puppets. This week, each classroom baked Gingerbread Men. Children were supported to follow a recipe, using scales to measure ingredients. We also learnt about the importance of washing our hands before baking or eating our delicious Gingerbread People.
