Over the Christmas break, Sue, one of our founders, collected some items for junk modelling at The Priory. Sue took the items in and the children loved searching through the boxes to see what they could make. It’s amazing to see the children get so creative with items destined for the recycling!

Storytime in Hungarian and German!
At Mornington House, one of the children in Preschool’s Mum is German and Dad is Hungarian. This means that he can speak three languages! His Dad came to read ‘Zog’ in Hungarian and Mum read a ‘Peppa Pig’ story in German. The children sat so quietly and listened really well to the stories in languages …
Children in Need
At Mornington House, we wore pyjamas and made cakes and biscuits to raise money for Children in Need. We also did painting activities and made Pudsey ears.

The Priory were very lucky to have a visit from a police officer recently. The children were fascinated by the flashing blue lights and the different types of helmets. All the children tried on the large fluorescent jackets and explored the police car with lots of buttons and the horn.
