This week we started with our advent calendar. Our special friend, Cookie Sugar Socks, will be with us during December. She likes to hide, so we have to look for her every morning. Then we check what activities our elf friend has brought for us. Until now we have decorated the Christmas tree, sang some songs and painted some northern lights. Let's see what activities we will have in the coming days.
It has also been fun to do other things in our classroom, like playing in the sensory box, pasting papers on the window and painting

What a busy week we have had!! 🐧
We went for our forest walk along with the Parrots 🦜. Children had fun climbing up and down the tiny hill and even picked up some branches to take back for our craft 🌿.
We started the Christmas calendar this week and welcomed our surprise visitors, who helped us decorate our Christmas tree🎄. The mischievous elves "Twinkle Sprinkle and Jingle Jangle" have been hiding around in the classroom every morning! Penguins have been doing really well finding them and are excited to hear their special activity for the day 😊.
We look forward to celebrating Finnish Independence Day 🇫🇮 on Thursday, Penguins have been painting the flag colours 🎨.
