Winter School
The final school event before I get to go on holiday to Toronto is Winter school. This year we had 3 days of events – a Pirate’s Day, and Pre-New Year’s Party and a Harry Potter Day. After that I’m free to fly home for New Year’s and enjoy my extended holiday!

They gave me the same pirate’s vest as what I wore for the kids’ sleepover party last year . The vest is Japanese size and I’m a chesty guy so it was a snug fit to say the least. I was not pleased! On Pirate’s Day the kids had a chance to help decorate a boat and its mast. They even made pirate hats and went treasure hunting for gold coins and gemstones.

The Pre-New Year’s Party the kids got to countdown early and decorate calendars. Since it’s the year of the dragon, they got to make dragon caps to ring in the New Year as well.

Harry Potter Day was the hardest day of all. It was a lot of magic tricks and a lot of prep! The kids didn’t know much about Harry Potter, but the kids enjoyed making magical treats, playing wizard games and crafting magic wands.
