It’s that time of year again and the children of Boston N.S. really got into the spirit of Christmas this week. The senior room worked together to decorate the Christmas Tree. The children had lots of fun and more importantly created a feeling of joy and happiness throughout the school which after all is the true meaning of Christmas. The senior room constructed snowmen using card, fabric, cotton wool and paper. They made Christmas cards and painted a winter scene.

 

 

 

 

 

 The junior room also had the chance to get into the Christmas spirit by making their own snowman decorations.
