Woah ho ho!!! The weeks have been flying past, and suddenly we’re into our last week at The Children’s House before our Christmas holidays! This week we’ll mostly be making Christmas decorations, having lots of Christmas fun and being very hyper – in between the usual learning, exploring and experimenting! The classes’ Christmas plays/songs are as follows:

9am class Christmas play & songs @ 11am on Tuesday 15th December

9.30am class Christmas play & songs @ 11.30am on Wednesday 16th December

12.45pm class Christmas songs @ 2.15pm on Thursday 17th December

We will be closing for Christmas holidays on Friday 18th December, and re-opening on Wednesday 6th January; we would like to wish you all a wonderful Christmas, and every happiness for 2016 – we’re looking forward to seeing you all in the New Year and having a fantastic 6 months with your beautiful children!!

***Please note that we’re asking the children to bring in €1 each if possible, as we’re making a donation to Barnardos Children’s Charity this Christmas***

We Wish you a Merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
And a happy new year!
Good tidings we bring,
To you and your kin –
We wish you a merry Christmas,
And a happy new year!!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in The Children’s House! We decorated the classrooms last week, but it’s a work in process – there can never be too much decorations or tinsel!! This week we’re going to be putting up & decorating our own Christmas tree in the lobby, making more Christmas crafts – either Santas or reindeers depending on the children’s interests, making Christmas playdough, doing some drama games, and practising our Christmas songs for next week’s extravaganzas….!!

Bualadh Bos (Jingle Bells in Irish)

Bualadh bos, bualadh bos,
Bualadh bos go léir –
Tá San Nioclás ag teacht anois,
Anuas an simléar.
Ó bualadh bos, bualadh bos,
Bualadh bos go léir –
Tá San Nioclás ag teacht anois,
Anuas an simléar!!
