The cheeky Elf was playing too rough with the boys and now he has lost a leg.
We gave him first aid and sent him to hospital with a bandage and wheelchair. We are praying for a full recovery.
He even tried to steal one of our shortbread Christmas trees on his way to get the ambulance.
The Elf returned from the hospital with fantastic news. Their leg is all better but they are having a baby.
The Elf needed a bath a some Elsa to make her feel better before the baby comes

We found a a huge piece of ice inside one of the tyres outside. We decided to experiment by breaking it into two pieces and predicting which piece would melt the quickest. We added some of the janitor’s salt grit to one shard and left the second clear.
The children waited patiently on the results.
What one do you think will melt?
The children were amazed at how quickly the ice melted.
“We need a Jack Hammer…….. I’ve got a wooden one”
We counted out the time it took to melt.
Lego has been extremely popular with all of the children.
Hammering nails into pumpkins using real tools, following safety instructions.
The children had the opportunity to talk about their emotions and make their own feelings jar using collage materials that represent each emotion in colour sealed inside a laminated pouch.
“Happy”
“Sad, I miss my Daddy”
“I’m doing all the colours cause that’s me, happy, sad, grumpy, calm, scared that’s me inside.
Rainbow meditation helps us control our breathing and brings our attention to the present.

We played a compilation of classical up tempo and soothing music to help the creativity flow. The children painted while listening to the music, some even moved their bodies to the rhythm. Each painting is a unique and beautiful masterpiece that we would all be proud to display in our homes.
“I don’t like that music, do you have dance music”
“I want to do it again” “can I make another painting ”
 
We decided to bring the gym equipment into the playroom and visit the gym hall after lunch.
Balancing, climbing, maneuvering obstacles, waiting our turn and building confidence.
