Looking for a delicious cheesecake recipe for Christmas? Please look below for one of my favourites.
What a wonderful and busy end to the year we’ve had at Playgroup! Over the past fortnight the children have enjoyed lots of festive fun, especially with our Christmas crafts.
The children worked beautifully together to create one very long magnetic connectors snake - then had a great time cutting it up with wooden knives.
We wrapped up the year with our Christmas party on the final day of Playgroup. It was so lovely to see everyone together, sharing food, laughter and festive cheer.
As we finish up for the year, we hope everyone has a joyful Christmas surrounded by family and friends, and a very restful, refreshing break.
Please note that Playgroup will be held on Thursday mornings next year. We look forward to welcoming everyone back!
