St Patricks Day 2017

The Phoenix House had a Green Disco Dress-up day today in celebration of St. Patricks Day!
The children looked absolutely AMAZING! and went to such a great effort with their Green themed dress-ups!

St Patricks Day Shamrock Collage

The Phoenix house children have been getting into the Irish spirit by creating some collage shamrocks using the colours of the Irish flag - Green, White and Orange.

We spoke about St Patrick's day at the table and about our upcoming Green disco day this Friday - which we are all very excited about :)

We also discussed what a Shamrock is and the significance behind it and how it is unique to Ireland.

We look forward to learning more about the Irish culture and taking part in more activities and learning experiences leading up to St Patrick's Day!

Wheels Day!

We had a great time at our Wheels Day where we brought along our Bikes and scooters which we raced around our big car park!

We incorporated our 'Stop/Go' signs into our play and learnt what each colour symbolized.
We will be sure to have another Wheels Day soon! :)

Chinese New Year Celebrations

The Phoenix House children are getting into the Chinese New Year Celebrations with a number of activities.
Activities that we have done are creating hand art money trees, Chinese Lanterns, Collage, money bags, making our own Chinese dumplings and reading the story behind the Chinese Zodiac signs during mat-time.

This year it is the year of the Rooster!

Welcome back to K.C.C!

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

We hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years and have all had a well deserved summer break :)

We would absolutely LOVE to hear all about your child's holiday - so if you have any photo's/ stories that your child would like to share at mat time please bring them along :)

Kind regards,

Laura, Nardia, Tracey and Alisha 

Alfie's last day at Phoenix house

With Christmas Eve drawing near Alfie our elf will have to head back to the North Pole to help out santa and the other elves. We have had a great time trying to find where he will be every morning, with lots of surprises along the way. Last night Alfie managed to get stuck in the Lego while building! What a silly elf, I wonder who will find him first!! Merry Christmas and a happy new year from all of us here at Phoenix house and Alfie. xx

Christmas Tree Craft

We have been busy creating lots of Christmas art and crafts over the past few weeks getting into the Christmas spirit!
Today we have made Christmas trees out of ice-block sticks and used sequins and gems to symbolize the decorations. The children showed confidence using the hot glue gun and were very creative with the colours and patterns they did when positioning their decorations onto their craft trees :)

Take a look at their beautiful Christmas tree creations :)
