The Finches have started the week by getting a special package from Rovaniemi. Santa Claus sent us a special helper, Glitter, to help us during our Christmas activities. Since then, we have been busy with fun activities, carolling and other surprises.
We have also been working on some preparations to celebrate Finland 's Independence Day on Friday. We are all looking forward to the big party!

This week Penguins and Parrots received two very special guests, our two little elves! ✨ Every day they will be giving us a mission. We started by decorating our classroom, putting ornaments on the tree and sparkling lights in the classroom. We have also done a very special scented ornament! 🙌🏽
Last week during the forest trip we were lucky to find two surprises: we saw how big machines were taking down a building 🏗️, and we found a spot with ice! 🧊

Last week was a busy one! The Hawks had their last Ice Skating day, where they got to dance around on the ice to some Christmas songs and even Hawky joined this time! They also managed to make some super nice Christmas decorations for our classroom and even had some time left to play with the new games that we got for our sensory corner! On Friday they went on a trip to the theater where they all enjoyed a super fun Finnish dance show😄
