Little Lambs ‘Spring’ news * ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Following the joyous occasion of the Nativity Pay and the generous donations of £111 being sent to Little Harbour Children’s Hospice, the children looked forward to the excitement of Christmas Day and all that goes with it - the ripping open of numerous presents from family and friends, tucking into a Christmas dinner and family games. Some of the children would not be returning to Little Lambs as they were now entitled to attend nursery at various schools, and so the number returning to group in January would be less. Nevertheless, we need not have been concerned. A poster on the PL24 Facebook page had young families exchanging conversations about us and as a result 6 new families have joined us bringing along 7 toddlers. Great News! We began the new term with a ‘Mucky Pastry’ activity, making animal shapes and generally having a marvellous time! Some children even took some pastry home to use again! They all made animal shape sandwiches the following week. Choosing a filling was a bit difficult - cheese spread, lemon curd and red jam all sounded delicious. Ann even made a lemon curd sandwich for Fr Derek - which was very agreeable! During the cold spell we have been having our singing and story time in the hall, and Derek has been entertaining in the background for much of the morning while the children complete their activity and play with the toys. Some of the children just sit and listen to him play and chat away to him, which is delightful. Painting is always a treat and often messy, so aprons and a bowl of water are provided, and the animal prints came out really well. The display board has now a few of our creations on display, and will gradually fill up as the term progresses. Making sheep, hand painting trees, decorating cakes, making cards and planting seeds are some of the activities we are to cover during the coming weeks. If you know a family with a toddler or baby who would appreciate a couple of hours, in the warm, making friends, talking and watching children enjoying themselves in a safe environment then please contact Barbara 07752 138196.
