31 Mother’s Day

Written by: Katie

Finally we were able to celebrate our beautiful Mothers at Preschool on the morning of Monday 13th June. It was such a wonderful celebration and so nice to finally be able to open up our doors and welcome in our much loved Mummies after having to postpone several times before. The children spent the week preceding decorating their own cardboard boxes with drawings for some and collage materials for others. These were packed on Monday morning with yummy treats for children and their Mums to enjoy for morning tea – there was even a pink butterfly cupcake especially for our Mums!

As our Mummies and special people arrived at Preschool, there were many fun provocations for the children to enjoy and explore with their mums which included puzzles, flower pattern boards, tea party set ups, drawing and painting on the easel. Everything seemed to have a hint of pink to really capture the celebration of our special Mummies! All the children loved being able to proudly show off their Preschool, what an amazing atmosphere there was with chatter, laughter and joy. All this play and exploration made everyone feel hungry, so after lots of play and excitement the children found their box and found a spot to sit and enjoy it with their Mummy.

It was then time for the puppet show, which was a hit with everyone! Christine from "Hands Alive" had everyone in stitches with her funny voices and vast array of puppets, hand-made signs and props. Thank you to all our lovely Mums (and Grandmas) for coming along to share in this special event with the children. We love welcoming you into our Preschool and to share these special times with your child, many memories made.
