December starts with some wholesome news coming from Busy Bees 🤍
After hearing about the passing of our beloved Queen, there was a lot of discussion throughout the nursery, especially with the preschool children. So much so that the children asked if they could send a little something to the Queen's family.
The preschool children created a friendship wreath to show their support to the Queen's family, which was sent alongside a letter addressed to King Charles.
Everyone was extremely amazed to receive a card from King Charles himself with thanks for the kind thoughts and wonderful messages! 🙏🏻
