Christmas at Lollipops Newton
08 January 2018
Santa arrived from the North Pole and surprised us all with the wonderful presents… HO HO HO!!
Children and their families welcomed Santa to Lollipops Newton. We were lucky to also have fairy visiting, and a bouncy castle which made the day even better.
Children performed Haka, and the teachers organised a little concert with our confident pre-schoolers and toddlers to entertain the parents.
There was delicious Kiwi style Christmas lunch for everyone. We couldn’t decide who was having more fun… children, teachers or the parents!
This past Christmas, Lollipops Newton partnered with the Anglican Trust for Women and Children. Through the generosity of our wonderful parents and children who have given presents, we were able to provide gift hampers are going to bring the biggest smiles to over 65 families around us.
What better way to celebrate the Christmas and serving our community. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from everyone at Lollipops Newton.
