Uxbridge goes on a Christmas Decoration hunt in the Village

Today we were very excited as we went in small groups for a walk up the the Village. We wanted to see what Christmas decorations we could spot.  Our children are so friendly, saying cheerful good mornings and hello's to the people walking past.  

We spotted some beautiful Christmas trees with different ornaments and colourful stars. There were even some Christmas flags on the light posts from the Santa Parade that the children were familiar with.  What a great opportunity for the children to share connections with home and centre. The flowers on the Pohutukawa trees are blossoming and the Tui birds were spotted flying around.
