Parrots had a great week filled with exciting activities! They went sledging for the first time this winter. ❄️ They had so much fun sliding down the big hill.🛷
Next was a trip to Sello to see the Christmas decorations 🎄and visit the library.📕 Parrots did so well with walking all the way there. Although, it was even more fun to take the bus back to daycare! 🚌
Then they had a special Independence Day lunch 🇫🇮. It was lovely to sit together and enjoy Karelian stew. After, they watched a moomin cartoon and had a special popcorn treat! 🍿

This past week, we have had lots of snow and Penguins have been making the most of it sledding and making snow cakes 😊
Friday was also our first sledding day of the season. We walked to the small forest with Parrots and had great fun sledding with friends and teachers .❄️🌲🌲
We also decorated our Christmas tree 🌲 and welcomed 'Cookie Sugar Socks' our Elf who has been surprising us every morning. She has been cheeky and hiding everywhere in the classroom, and leaving behind messages with an activity for us do. This week we made Christmas ornament sun catchers.
We look forward to many more fun days ❄️🌲🌲☃️
