Tulips

This week the Tulips celebrated Vasaloppet in their own brilliant style, although they didn’t get snow to go skiing in they took part in a fantastic obstacle race. From running to throwing , from jumping too mooing like a cow as they crawled to the next station. We love to have traditions from abroad and here in Sweden and the children love to be involved especially if it means they can run around. 

The day wouldn’t be completely without a break to grab a snack, they need to get their energy from somewhere , even if it does mean blåbarsoppar getting all over their happy faces. 

At the end of all that they got a very well deserved medals.

The Tulips

This week the tulips got to take over the iPads. They were in charge of photographing, filming and making their own piccolages , after a few logistical problems like holding the iPad and pressing buttons at the same time were worked around they got some great shots. Selfie mode was a group favorite, up the nose and double chin photos are very funny to the tulips.

Chinese New Year !!!

This week the Tulips celebrated Chinese New Year, this year was the year of the pig. The tulips got to make their own pig masks using recycled materials, red thread ( red is a lucky colour in China). We also exchanged our little red origami envelopes with a lucky coin inside with friends and family wishing them happiness and good luck in the new year. 

The tulips also got an extra special snack today ... “Chinese smiling sesame cookie balls” which they all loved.
