There has been a great buzz around Crawford Childcare, Cork <\/a>last week which was topped off nicely with pyjama day on Friday. Funds collected from pyjama day are all donated to the Irish Hospice Foundation for homecare for children. The motto used by Early Childhood Ireland to promote the campaign was \u201cHelping children to help children and having fun!\u201d There was certainly a feel good atmosphere on Friday. By supporting this campaign we all made a small but significant difference in the lives of families that are less fortunate than our own. Combined on a National scale every contribution makes a huge impact \u2013 thank you all for your support and generosity in raising \u20ac459.81.<\/h4>\n

Meanwhile the circus has rolled into Hazelwood, Glanmire and our Montessori class must have been tipped off as they have had their own circus extravaganza this week with face painting, acrobatics, juggling, ringmasters, tigers and clowns \u2013 Phew! We also learned a new song. Try asking your Montessori pupil to help teach you the tune so you can sing it together.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s all go to the circus
\nThe circus today, the circus today
\nLet\u2019s all go to the circus, today
\nAnd watch a big parade<\/p>\n

See the clowns all tumbling around, tumbling around
\nSee the clowns all tumbling around
\nIn the circus ring<\/p>\n

Lions and tigers jumping through hoops
\nJumping through hoops, jumping through hoops
\nLions and tigers jumping through hoops
\nIn the circus cage<\/p>\n

The prancing horses step so high,
\nStep so high, step so high
\nThe prancing horses step so high
\nIn the circus ring.\u201d<\/p>\n

The toddlers especially loved pancake day and we seem to have lots of would be chefs in the making. Many of the children were much better than the adults at tossing and catching their pancakes. They were very tasty to although some of us preferred a rice cake!<\/p>\n

Meanwhile in the baby room songs, stories, games and arts & crafts have all been focusing on body parts. There have been a lot of coloured fingerprints around the room as the children have been busy making keepsake poems for their mums and dads with their keyworkers.<\/p>\n

Thanks again for all your support. Please share with us your child\u2019s stories of what they have enjoyed most at cr\u00e8che as this really helps us to plan future activities and events.<\/p>\n
