Christmas magic
Last week was full of Christmas magic, creativity, and excitement! Here’s a little recap of everything we enjoyed together:
🎅 On Monday, we explored our Christmas sensory table and played with festive playdough.
🎁 On Tuesday, Santa came to the crèche with presents! The children were delighted and full of wonder. We also enjoyed reading the Christmas stories that Santa kindly gifted!
🎨 On Wednesday, the children created their own Christmas trees using green paint and forks as brushes. They loved the different texture and the “pine tree” effect it made!
🎶 On Thursday, we sang a mix of Christmas songs for mum and dad, we even learned a song in Irish! After that, we all cooked together and made a wonderful Nutella filled Christmas tree pastry. It smelled (and tasted🤭) amazing!
🦌 On Friday, we mixed magical ingredients to make reindeer food so they can recharge their energy on Christmas Eve. The children were very excited to prepare something special for Santa’s helpers!
It’s been a joyful and festive week full of smiles and Christmas spirit. 🎄🎄🎅🎅
Maisiúcháin Nollag!

A busy week creating Christmas decorations! We also had a great visit today from the Garda. Christmas 🌲 trees were also put up! Have a lovely weekend everyone! 🌲🎁🎅🤶
Pilates with Louise
Our Pilates class in Little stars on the land is a firm favourite with our children. Our amazing Pilates teacher, Louise brings the children through a curriculum of mindfulnsss and movement. We definitely see self regulation skills developing in the children and a sense of self. And it’s so much fun!
Halloween fun 👻
Hi mommy’s and daddy’s, we have had loads of Halloween fun 👻 We had halloween themed sensory play using spaghetti, water and Oobleck. We made play dough spiders🕷️ Our arts and crafts were witches faces, ghosts, bats and claws. We learned a new spooky Halloween song and have read Halloween books 📚
Next Friday (24th) we will have a Halloween costume party for the end of Ecce 🎃.
We hope you have a lovely weekend, Ciara, Sinead, Vanessa, Jesús and Rachael
A thuismitheóirí, bhí an-Spraoi again do Oíche Shamhna. Rinneamar obair céadfach le spaghetti, uisce agus Oobleck (gloop). Rinneamar damháin alla as taos 🕷️agus ealaín agus céird le cailligh, púcaí, íaltóga agus ionga. F’fhoghlaimear amhráin Oíche shamhna agus léigh muid scéalta faoí. 📚 an seachtain seo chugainn, beidh gléasadh suas againn mar beidh briseadh mean téarma ag gach páiste a thagann ar maidin. Ban fíor sult as an deireadh seachtaine.
Making Pizzas
Last week we had a great day. We enjoyed making pizzas with our little ones. We each took turns to decorate our pizza, which helped develop our fine motor skills, spark our creativity and by working together, we enjoyed progressing our social skills- all whilst having so much fun!
Music, ballet and Pilates classes
Our children have enjoyed their music, ballet and Pilates classes so much at little stars. What a fun way to spend an afternoon.
Dear families, this week we have dived under the sea to discover the animals that live underwater 🐟 We started the week by creating some special cards for our fathers, happy father's day to all!🩷 In addition, we created the “sand” for our mural, using our hands, we love to get dirty! 👐🏼We did the undersea animals with an experiment: we painted aluminum foil with markers and stamped the shape of a starfish, a dolphin and a seahorse, they were very original and we loved coloring in different textures! 🐬Finally, in our sensory activity we created foam and, together with warer and blue coloring, we played and got soaked 🤭 it was a lot of fun 💦
This week we celebrated with a big party the birthday of our friend Felix, he is now 4 years old! Happy birthday to him!🥳🎂🎁❤️❤️
This week we really enjoyed taking advantage of the sunshine but also being able to enjoy playing together in the classroom when it was raining. We have colored a lot, read books and enjoyed role playing, there are lots of "kittens" in the classroom 🐱🤭
Happy weekend 💖
