Today we learnt about the celebration of Eid by listening to a story about Hassan and Aneesa.  We dressed up in clothes like theirs and learnt to say Eid Mubarak, Happy Eid.  We also had our hands painted with Mhendi.  For tea we had an indian sharing platter, and at the end of the day took home an Eid money wallet filled with chocolate coins.

Today we celebrated the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle by holding our very own wedding!  The congregation of our chapel watched as the friendship ceremony took place, and this was followed by the photographs.  The children helped themselves to the buffet and toasted the couple after the cake had been cut.  The "Night Do" took place in the afternoon with a disco and the all important first dance!  This was followed by a pie and pea supper before the happy couple set off on their honeymoon!  Hopefully this was a memorable day for our children to mark this auspicious occasion.

Today we celebrated Saint George's Day!The children acted out the story of the legend of Saint George, and joined in with traditional English activities including going to the chippy and having a picnic in the park.

The new park in Waterfoot has been a big hit with the children this week!  We anticipate lots of visits in the future as the children didn't want to come home!  Other park users commented on how well behaved our children were.  Just what I like to hear!!

Today we had Welsh lamb stew and bara brith to celebrate St David's Day, and we all took home a daffodil for our Mummy.

Today we had a special visitor who taught us about Chinese New Year traditions.  She brought us a "Fu" to put up in nursery and bring us good luck for the rest of the year.  She showed us how to use chopsticks and read us a story about chopsticks the mouse.  We looked at all the different animals from the Chinese zodiac, and played with Chinese dragons.  At the end of the day we all took home a "Hung bao" filled with "lai see," a special red envelope filled with lucky money!

Elsa's and Anna's arrived in force on our Frozen Day along with lots of snowmen and Olaf!  There were lots of Frozen themed activities, including exploring the properties of ice, making snowflake wands and necklaces, and a Frozen themed small world.  The magic powers of all our Elsa's even made it snow! We had snowflake pasta for lunch with Olaf sandwiches for tea, and at the end of the day the children had an Olaf treat to take home.  Everyone had a fantastic day! 

Our children were fantastic in this years Nativity Play, "Sleepy Jesus" and they put on a wonderful performance.  They loved dressing up in their costumes and were very excited on the day.
