Today we said good bye to the only one leaving for Today we said good bye to the only one leaving for school this year. We had a lovely party and the hanging balloons was a major hit! All the children loved this. Next time I will space them out more as I spent most of the day untangling them! 

She's developed into a confident, independent, kind and and caring person, and she's totally ready for the next stage on her life.

I enjoyed this group activity, something we haven't done for a while. It was entertaining, enjoyable, accepting of others, lots of communication, cooperation, and kind words of encouragement from them.
