This morning Sandy, Jemma and I took, Elizabeth, Libby, Callan, Scarlett, Paige and Logan for a walk. We went down to visit the Tuis and Pukekos and wish them a Merry Xmas. The children were lucky as they were offered a second morning tea. We went out to play in the Tui playground and saw a few of our old friends like William and Lily, Noah and James and Amelia and Oisin. We were going to help sing Christmas Carols through town but instead we decided to look at the decorations around town and make a move back home for lunch. We saw a very tall Christmas tree and decorations of Santa and reindeer. It was so nice to get out and about and see the Christmas spirit in the community.
It was really exciting today when Paul turned up with a big object wrapped in a rug. What was it? It was the centre's mirror that the teachers had mosaiced on the Teachers Only Day 2011. It was a bit of decision on where to put it but we decided under the breakfast bar so when the children have finished eating their kai, they can look in the mirror to clean their faces and wash their hands. The teachers are so proud of their efforts and the children love to look at their handsome faces in the mirror.
We are really getting into the Christmas spirit at Village Kids - Te Mata Road. We have been making christmas decorations, baking, listening to christmas carols and taking photos with santa hats on!!!
