There have been some great activities and celebrations at SMOOSH and more to come. We had spies galore in week 7 with lots of children running around in disguise, staff included. There is a great group photo of all the agents from S.M.O.O.S.H.
St Patrick’s day
The children have celebrated St Patrick’s Day all through the week with some great activities programmed both in the AM and PM. Green pancakes in the morning is always a treat.
