Hello everyone!

Today was bitter sweet. It was the last regular class for the rest of 2017, but Christmas and New Years is very close. We are all excited with the progress that the children have made over the past year, and look forward to what they can accomplish next year.

We checked the Advent Calendar to see what today would bring. It said "Sweet House". We would be making a Gingerbread Cookie House during craft time!



We had a very active dance time. It was fun making funny faces while we sang Head, Shoulders, Knees And Toes.



We set up an obstacle course for the kids. We have balance beems, hoops and even a slide!




The children got to see the Pipi Christmas tree for the last time this year. Hopefully they will get a lot of presents from Santa!



We had a fun Flashcard session, that included a couple of students helping as a teacher. It is always nice to see kids helping each other learn.

During the craft time, the children identified different parts of the house and idividually decorated each house to their own taste.





After a nice lunch that included a prepared bread, the children had a very productive workbook seesion. We then ejnoyed some free play and constructed many items out of blocks of various sizes.



We can't wait to see the kids again. On behalf of Pipi International School, we wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!
