This past week Puffins have been immersed in the learning of the last countries for International Weeks. Griselda taught us about Albania with a beautiful presentation, then we painted a famous Albanian flower called Poppy flower and then ended with some traditional dancing with Albanian music 🇦🇱. After that day Callum's mum and dad came to make a presentation about the Philippines, we learned a lot about the transportations, common fruits, snacks and animals; then we listened to some songs in Tagalog about veggies and ended that day with eating some delicious snack 🇵🇭. Alongside the international weeks, Puffins have been enjoying their outdoors and indoors time 😊🚗🌳🧩

Exciting week for our little penguins 🐧. Children started making and painting their spring caterpillar craft.
On Friday we went for a forest 🌳 trip with a twist. As apart of our international weeks celebration, Georgie prepared some activities from the UK 🇬🇧 . Paddington and his friends came along with us in the forest and we had a treasure hunt. In the afternoon we had sandwiches with marmalade and chips and watched a short video from the serie Paddington🧸.
On Monday we had our gym 🤸🏼♀️, we did some warm up exercise and at the end we had fun with the parachute.
To end up our week we had music 🎶 and had a chance to play the flute.
