Following from our very busy, fun and successful Halloween Camp, M&A’s has had a very busy few weeks leading up to Christmas,

Montessori
The Smaller Children in our Pre-2014; School , enjoyed the themes of At the Supermarket, at the Zoo and All about Christmas time, all the children are very happy and excited about Christmas time and they are learning about the importance of this special holiday!

Children in the Montessori enjoyed putting up the Christmas decorations with teachers and getting the Nature and Interest table ready for our Christmas themed week, we are also enjoying out Christmas Countdown and each day we count down the days and sleeps till Santa comes, all the children are also enjoying the Christmas Advent Calendar and Christmas Carols, Crafts, Stories and Christmas themed number games.

Christmas Craft Class
This ran for a few weeks it was very festive, children created their own special Christmas craft, this involved a lovely picture of a beautiful Christmas Fire Place scene followed by a wreath with a Cardboard front door. The children also created a lovely Christmas Table Centre this included dried pine cones, Christmas Ribbon, a chocolate treat and homemade Christmas decorations. The children were all very excited to bring home their lovely decorations!

Christmas Carol workshop-2014
This was held on the 7th of December ,children from 4 years of age to 12 years of age participated in the Christmas Carol Workshop! This was a lovely evening of singing, percussion, instrumental exercises and we finished it all off with a a small Christmas Party . Children were each given a Christmas Carol Lyric pack with all their favourite Christmas Carols to enjoy. Lots of children wore Santa, Rudolph and Snowmen hats and we all had the pleasure of listening to M&A’s guitar students Emily Flynn, Aaran Moran and Katyln Flannery all playing the guitar and performing a Christmas piece for all in the workshop.

Music Classes
All our Instrumental Classes are finishing up this week for our Christmas Break, Children in the various instrumental classes learned how to play lots of lovely Christmas Songs and Melodies for the Christmas season so it was a very enjoyable term for all our Music Students.

We at M&A’s would like to wish all our students and parents a very happy and healthy Christmas and a happy New Year, we look forward to seeing everybody in 2014 for lots of more fun Activities in our new term.
