It’s school holidays here in New Zealand, but pre-schools are still open. That means it’s work as usual for me, well kind of. We are putting on different special events every day to give the children a treat. Tuesday was Dress Up Day, all the kids got to dress up in their favourite costumes. As you can expect we had a lot of princesses and Bob the Builders.

I decided to join in with the fun, so I got dress up as well. I dressed up as a pig. I used my brother’s pink Puma track suit, Shen you’ll have to enlighten us all on how you became in possession of a pink Puma Track Suit. I also cut up an old egg carton for the nose and a box for the ears. Ivy made me an adorable little piggy tail out of some old fabric she had lying around.

We’ve got some more cool days coming up like, Bike Day, Disco Day and PJ and DVD Day. Should be a fun 2 weeks.

Today we had our annual Christmas Party for the children at the Pre-School where I work. The day didn’t start off to well. We opened the center to start setting up for the festivities, only to find that one of the class guinea pigs had died over night. The poor one that was still alive was head butting the dead one trying to wake it up. So we quickly cleaned that up before the kids started to arrive.

Once everyone was there the party was going great. We had an Ice Cream Truck for the kids and a Coffee Truck for the parents. Dawn the center cook had the BBQ going full bore supplying the masses with sausages and candy floss, while teachers were painting faces, talking to parents and playing with the children. There was also a parent their, who has a bunch of ponies, giving the children pony rides.

After a couple of hours of playing and eating. Santa made an appearance. He did the rounds shaking hands and scaring babies before sitting down and handing out presents and candy canes to all the children. As you’d imagine the kids loved Santa and he had their full attention for a good half an hour. This gave the teachers and parents time to sit back and relax a bit.

Santa!

Once Santa had left it was time for my class the 3 and half to 5 year olds to perform a play for their parents. The play of choice was of one of my favourite childhood stories ‘Where the Wild Things Are’. The children did well and the parents loved it. After the play we also sang a couple of Christmas carols with the parents; ‘Jingle Bells’ and ‘I Wish You a Merry Christmas’.

All in all a great day!
