Dear Parents,
Welcome to our Newsletter for December.
We loved getting ready for the festive Christmas season, and we were very busy making lots of festive arts and crafts.
We especially loved our count down to Christmas chart and all our children enjoyed ticking off the days until Christmas.
Themed Events, Curriculum & Other Activities:
We loved learning all about artic animals and what they do during the Winter seasons for food and shelter. We have made our own versions of artic displays in class and our children enjoyed decorating them.
With the Christmas season almost upon us, we have been thinking of all the people we have missed seeing in 2020. We spoke about our grandparents, cousins and friends. We then decided we would like to make Christmas cards for residents in Nursing Homes close to our creche, so we got out all our colourful paper, glitter, arts and crafts supplies and made the most gorgeous Christmas cards. They were sent to the residents of Trinity Care Gormanston Wood Nursing Home, and we really hope the residents enjoyed them as much as we enjoyed making them.
And Christmas isn’t Christmas without festive Christmas jumpers! We loved wearing them in and the children enjoyed showing off their ones.
Annual Employee Award Winner:
Our Annual Employee Award for 2020 was awarded to Declan Newman, our amazing Chef in Links Balbriggan. As well as feeding us daily and doing it with such fun, Declan is brilliant with our children. When it comes to baking or Pizza Friday, he always makes sure that our children have the best fun while learning at the same time. All his meals are cooked daily from fresh produce and he really does his job with such love and care. So congratulations Declan, so well deserved!
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for 2021.
Best wishes,
Daniela & the Links Balbriggan Team
