Winter Came Early

We had our first snow today, which was exciting for the Aussies at the school who have never seen snow. The rest of us weren't so happy though, as it is a little early in the season for snow. Tom and I had to dig out all our winter clothes, coats, hats, and boots, and make sure our heat was working.

We all had to bundle up extra well today as our class field trip to the pumpkin farm was today. Thankfully the wet snow stayed in Prague, and it was not raining or snowing when we arrived at the pumpkin place. The kids enjoyed it immensely, and most of them at least tried the pumpkin soup served up by the farmer and his wife. They had some hay to play in, a few riding toys, rabbits and chickens to feed and try to pet, and lots of pumpkins to choose from. The pumpkins had already been harvested, so we didn't have to slog through the fields looking for just that special one.

Tomorrow the kids are doing a little harvest presentation for their parents, (songs and poems) with goodies to follow. It's a nice way to end the week.

Next week will be packed with activities related to moving, because the Early Years classes ( the nursery children and the classes that I work with) will be moving to a newly-renovated building that is within walking distance of our flat. It will be very exciting to be the first classes to use the brand new space! We have the last week of October off as our half-term break, so when we come back in November we will be in our new space!
