Our group's horse exhibition
Yesterday I was invited to a party at Carolin's nursery. Mesimumm nursery held a grandparents' day and an event to mark the start of the year of the blue wooden horse, to which all grandmothers, grandfathers and great grandparents were invited. Mums and dads did not fit into the party this time 🙂
In our group there were more than 30 guests.
The event began in the group room, where we started with a circle to get to know one another and then made an enormous sandwich together. Some spread butter and pate, some laid out the slices of bread and lettuce leaves, some peeled and sliced eggs, cucumber, cheese, tomato, ham, fish and so on. Everyone had brought something along, so there was a fair quantity of toppings and it all had to be fitted in somehow. Some children made their own wonderful, appetising sandwich and then placed it in the middle of the big shared one as a decoration. It was tremendous fun, and there was no time even to take photographs.
At the agreed hour every group carried its big sandwich, or rather its sandwich cake, to the nursery hall for the others to admire and for the winning sandwich to be drawn. Every participant placed a paper coin on the table whose sandwich they liked best.
The one our group made was truly enormous; clearly we had the most participants. And of course, with something made so large and with such care and love, your own always seems the best, the finest and the most appetising.
On the windowsills of the hall stood the collections of horses put together by the groups; ours can be seen in the picture.
From the hall we returned to the group room with our big sandwich. The children performed, and there was dancing and singing with the grandparents. And we ate the sandwich we had made. There was enough for everyone, as much as anyone could eat, and some left over. It was wonderful.
Many thanks to the lovely teachers, the children and everyone who took part. It was such a cheerful, sweet event.
I am adding a few pictures here as well. Since I concentrated more on taking part in the event, there are not very many.
