'Christmas is a time for giving and sharing love and friendship. By popping in to check on an older neighbour we know and by making time for older relatives we can all help to make sure that everyone has a happy and warm Christmas.
'No one should be lonely at Christmas.'
December 11th the afternoon children will visit the elderly residents at Holy Mount Care Home. The children will be practising some Christmas songs to entertain our friends with. We would also like to take all the residents a small gift to spread kindness over this festive period. We are asking all our parents to buy a small gift suitable for an elderly person. A list of appropriate gifts will be displayed outside nursery on the door from Friday 1st Dec. The children will wrap the gifts at nursery. All gifts must be given to nursery by Friday 8th December.
