Knitting Group meets, Wednesday afternoons, in Old Quebec

Rev. Katherine Burgess has started a Knitting Group, in Old Quebec, on Wednesday afternoons at 2.00pm.

If you are already a knitter, or know someone who knits, then please let them know.  

Interested in learning how to knit?  Rev. Burgess has a supply of knitting wool and needles (enough to get you started) and will help you learn to knit.

The Knitting Group meets in the Kirk Hall of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church.

All welcome.

'Tis the Season to say Thank you!

Thank you to all the Mums and Dads who attended our Christmas event last Friday, together with your children. 

A fun time was had by all, along with an abundance of food and drinks (supplied by parents). Thank you! There was a small gift from Santa, play fun on the bouncy castle, and a delightful Christmas puppet theatre entitled "Little Star" ...

Playgroup raised $28.01 from our mini book fair, with books supplied by Anglo Store, in perfect time for Christmas. Thank you!

with Warmest Greetings for the Christmas holidays and I'll see you in the New Year!

Little Star ... by Anthony DeStefano

Three Nice Mice - song and craft

Three nice mice.

Three nice mice.

See how they play.

See how they play.

They're always polite,

when they nibble their cheese.

They always say "Thank you" and

always say "Please."

They cover their noses,

Whenever they sneeze.

Ahhhh-Choo!

Three nice mice.

This Little Light of Mine

Have you and your preschoolers ever watched Patty on Kids' CBC television?  Join her in learning to sing and sign "This Little Light of Mine" from WeeHands.  This song was celebrated during the 2010 Christmas season and I would like to introduce it to everyone at Shining Stars.  Sheryl (Shining Stars Playgroups - Facilitator)

This Little Light of mine,

I'm gonna let it shine.

This Little Light of mine,

I'm gonna let it shine.
This Little Light of mine,
I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Everywhere I go,
I'm gonna let it shine.
Everywhere I go,
I'm gonna let it shine.
Everywhere I go, 
I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

I won't let anyone put it out, No.

I'm gonna let it shine (repeat twice),

let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Encourage your children to add more verses to the tune, and sing-along.
