    Happy Halloween at Kspace! Sam´s class took a tour around the neighbourhood to get some treats. Most of the children enjoyed the tour even if they looked a bit confused at times about what was going on…..The treats were appreciated though…

    We went to a small zoo with the Chrysalis class and had a lovely day outdoors. Sam did not care much about the animals (the guinea pig was quickly taken away after Sam´s immediate surprise of having it in his lap!)….. instead the dirt, sticks and stones were carefully examined by Sam…. We all had a fun day!!
