Dear Parents / Guardians,
The last DAC session of the term was an absolute blast! We had a lot of fun at our summer party and it was the perfect way to say goodbye to those who will be moving on, so a huge thank you to everyone who came!
This term, we have enjoyed being able to spend more time outside with the children on days the sun has decided to grace us with its presence!
Bubbles have been a favourite this term, it is amazing how much children can enjoy such a simple activity. Interesting Fact: Children catching and bursting the bubbles encourages the development of the hand-eye coordination.
Arts and crafts have also been a big part of DAC this term, the children have enjoy being able to make new arts and crafts each week and having the freedom to use their imagination to the full extent.
