We made a special stop this morning at the community Christmas tree 🎄
Over the past few weeks, the children have been working so hard to create their colourful decorations, and today we carefully placed them on the tree for everyone to enjoy. Don’t they look beautiful?

Each child made a wish on their star before hanging it up - such a magical moment ✨

A huge thank you to Poyntzpass and Acton Village Care Group for giving the children the opportunity to take part in this lovely experience. ❤️
