What’s been happening…..

Halloween party. The children became spooky dancing skeletons as they performed their Skeleton Dance for their parents at our Hocus Pocus Halloween Party.

There was a wide range of Halloween themed activities for the children to explore with their parents.

Parents were invited to participate in our Halloween competition by making a Hallowee model from recycled materials. During the morning visitors placed their vote for their favorite model.

The top 3 winners were awarded prizes:

1st prize an Ipad pro, 2nd prize blow dry voucher from Ying Yang salon in Sadaf and 3rd prize manicure voucher also from Ying Yang salon in Sadaf.

Parents and children enjoyed all the tasty Halloween treats.

National Day.

We celebrated National Day with the children performing two songs, one

in English and the other in Arabic.

After the performance the children and their parents participated in a range of activities.

The Fingerprint loyalty wall was very popular with parents.

Everyone was excited to take photos with the car made by the staff using recycled materials.

After the children had performed we all enjoyed a variety of traditional UAE treats.
