Our December meeting was packed with fun, activities and international food! Yum!

The families did a great job decorating the tables representing their countries. They were all amazing and we had a competition with a clear winner.... Norway!!!

Congratulations Rhianna and Victoria, your table was brilliant!! Check out the pictures below.

We also had our usual games: The Ball Game, The Continents and their Countries, The Flag Game plus a few games provided from the tables.

We would like to wish you all a peaceful Xmas and a New Year filled with love, peace, health and friendship.

Happy New Year!!!

The winning table!! Well done Norway!!!

The Flag Game

Dancing Around the Christmas Tree

A Norwegian tradition

In November we introduced a new game called "The Continents" where the children can identify countries belonging to that particular continent. It was great fun!! We had the name of the countries pinned on the walls and the children had to run and grab a country for the continent we were playing.

The country we talked about in November was EGYPT. We had many books about Egypt with amazing pictures of the country, the people and, of course, the pyramids!!

For the games, we had the mummy game, building a pyramid with megablocks, building a human pyramid, roll a turban around your head, and also drawing your own hieroglyphs.

The meeting finished with our usual snacks and coffee for the parents.
