Winter is nearly over!!!

2 of the toddlers that started swimming!

Winter is nearly over and the children have started their swimming lessons. The 2 toddlers went for the lessons for the first time and they are enjoying every moment of it.

Another school holiday - unscheduled

The school children have been home for a week now because the Teachers’ Unions are all on strike. Whilst most of the teachers at the Wychwood School aren’t striking, there are fears of what the strikers might do to the children if they try to go to school as some of the children who tried to go to school were threatened. We hope that by next week the strike will be over.

Hospice arrival

In the last two weeks we have admitted two nine year olds, both are very sick. One has meningitis and has had to go to hospital to receive specialised IV antibiotics. The course is at least 6 weeks long and the drugs have bad side affects so we had to take a chance and send him to hospital despite the Nurses Unions also being on strike. We could not take him to our usual hospital as the strike there is quite violent, but we got him into another hospital. Hopefully, once he is stable on the medication we will be able to bring him home and continue his treatment here.

Wychwood Fashion show!!!

Our Church had a fashion show on Saturday!!

Posing for the camera :)

The children were treated to an outing at the movies to see Shrek. This was their first 3D movie and they really enjoyed it.

On Saturday we had our first jumble sale. To our surprise many people came and bought the clothes. With the money we got we are able to buy some new clothes for the children. Thank you to all the people that gave clothes and books for this jumble sale.
