Uplands Kindergarten at Somervell Church

Head Teacher from Uplands Kindergarten

Christmas is fast approaching and each session brings another idea for decorations. We were very lucky to get a supply of empty wool cones this year (we ran out). Add some wire and colourful beads, which the children are deft at threading on, and they make the best Christmas trees.
