11.01.2022 Saturday 14/11/20 is Diwali - Festival of Lights What is Diwali? Diwali or Deepavali comes from the Sanskrit word meaning rows of lighted lamps. Diwali celebration lasts five days: candles, firecrackers and clay lamps known as diyas are lit to signify the triumph over darkness and good over evil. If you want to greet someone who is celebrating you can say Happy Diwali. People will decorate with Rangolis for Diwali, made from colored powder, rice or flowers on the floor... of their homes. Food is a major part of the holiday with tradition sweet and savoury items eaten! Happy Diwali!

10.01.2022 Winter is coming! As the colder months are upon us, we have put together some helpful tips to help assist our families in staying healthy over the Winter period: 1. Keep up with the hygiene - wash hands, disinfect surfaces and keep unclean fingers away from your face. 2. Eat well, stay active and get a good night's rest - All of these helps boost your immune system. Having a health immune system will help in fighting off any winter illnesses. 3. Keep your distance - symptoms of the flu are very easily spreadable, so it is incredibly important to keep your distance from those who carry flu like symptoms.

10.01.2022 On Friday, we celebrated Carla who is getting married this weekend. We had a bridal shower for her, where we played some games including Guess the Emoji and Pass the Bouquet!

We wish Carla all the best for this weekend!
