Dear Parents,

We hope you are very well.

We have had a lovely week playing in the garden and enjoying our themed events.

Saturday August 8th would have marked the last day of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. So we enjoyed a day of Olympic games. We did lots of Olympics arts & crafts, making medals & the iconic Olympic rings.

Our musical babies loved exploring their musical instruments and our wobblers & toddlers loved the outdoor house and bikes.

As parents cannot see our new garden space, we have included some photos here to show you how we have sectioned out the outdoor spaces into pods. The children are loving being outdoors.

We had some lovely play time in the garden and did lots of painting, arts and crafts.

Our babies loved explored the textures of paint and were fascinated by the different colours. Our toddlers had great fun with the dinosaurs and stomping their dinosaurs feet in paint to print their pictures. They also showed their caring nature when they bathed their baby dolls and fed them. Our active wobblers loved gym time in our soft play area.

Fancy Dress Day was lots of fun for our preschool children and indeed, all our children. The dress up outfits were amazing, and all the children were so excited to see what their friends and Educarers were dressed up as!  Thank you to all of our parents for helping to dress up your children for our special day.

Before the summer holidays finished up, we had two weeks packed full of fun activities, including a little Graduation Party for our Preschool children who were starting Primary School.

It was lovely to mark this special milestone with them in crèche before they embarked on their exciting journey into Primary School.

We also loved our themed events, arts & crafts and we enjoyed a lot of outdoor playing.

We are looking forward to lots of learning and fun activities in September with all our children.

Kind Regards,

Sarah & the Links Drumcondra Team
