Our Christmas Party

What a beautiful day for a picnic at preschool! Perfect for friends and family to gather together to relax and celebrate the festive season.





There was face painting for everyone...

and sometimes there was a little wait.



The sandpit was open for everyone young and old to mix and mingle.



Shad Rutherford arrived to provide some entertainment.




Then the anticipated Santa arrived.

With all the gifts handed out and Santa's sacks empty, it was time for him to go. So with a last present of a lolly scramble, he was off to visit other good little boys and girls.

With Santa gone the presents were unwrapped and the fun and games began!

Our excursion to the A & P Show




On Wednesday the 9th November Courtyard Montessori had an exciting excursion to the annual A & P Show.  The children were all very excited as we climbed aboard the 'big bus' to start our trip!





Yay, we arrived!  Now it was time to explore....
