Little Comments….

Most of you are probably aware of ‘growing pains’. It must be difficult for a child to describe the definition of growing pain to anybody but I heard a lovely explanation from Paul; who when his knees hurt says: “I have a head ache in my knees!”

….and finally….

…We are very desperate for some scribble paper and material for the creative area. If you have any computer paper, wall paper, spare wrapping paper, aluminum foil, bubble wrap or any other material suitable for modeling, cutting and drawing on we would very much appreciate it if you could donate some.
