Flying Start @ Helston Post Letters To Santa!

The children at Flying Start @ Helston have been dealing with some very important Christmas post…

They’ve been writing all their wishes down in letters to Santa, and then the children got their coats on and went on a walk to the Post Office to buy stamps, and post their letters to Santa in the North Pole!!

We hope the Royal Mail can make a special delivery to the North Pole…

   Look how happy and well behaved these children are Santa!

Flying Start @ Marjon Pre-Schoolers Make Snowman Creations!

As the cold weather hit Marjon this week, the staff decided to enjoy festive activities indoors in the warm!

The children have been gluing and sticking with cotton wool and googly eyes – to make snowman pictures!

They have also been using shaving foam to make a big snowman! All the children joined in using a range of tools to move the foam around… and had a lot of fun creating their masterpiece!

They’ve also been making collages, and using lots of glitter to make Christmas pictures!

They splodged, stamped and rolled their materials around to make lovely pictures!

Well done Duchy and Saltash – what a great activity to do together, and use the natural environment!
