Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! We will be learning all about this lovely North American celebration in The Children’s House this week, as it falls on this Thursday. It is a wonderful opportunity to focus on things that we are thankful for in our lives, and to gently remind the children to be aware of the fact that not everyone in the world has food, or a home, or even a family, and to be grateful for all of those things; it is a really positive celebration!

It’s also College Awareness Week, so will be talking to the children about their journey of learning – which starts as soon as they are born – with their parents/guardians at home, with us in preschool, then primary,secondary, third-level….To link into their home environment, we are asking that family members also give us information about where they went on their journeys of learning, and if they have photos from graduations to please send us in copies to display on our Timeline of Lifelong Learning!

Let’s Be Thankful (tune of Twinkle Twinkle)

Let’s be thankful for this day,
For our friends and for our play.
Let’s be thankful, let’s be glad,
For the food and things we have.
Let’s give thanks for you and me,
And our home and family!
