If any children would like to draw a picture at home, we would happily post!

Pre school have been learning all about Chinese new year. We created a curiosity table for them to explore with traditional Chinese attire, cooking materials, calendars and writing.

Flying Start @ Redruth Make Pizza!
The children have been making bread for snack for a long time so we decided to make our own pizza dough to make Pizza for our snack.

It was just too yummy to resist and the children ate it before we had time to snap a picture.
