Goodbye winter

It's official - winter is over, or at least it is at mca. To mark the end of winter we got together for a good old BBQ. Amazingly the April sun shone all day and we kept busy with childrens crafts, creating a straw lady and eating cake.

lots of children and paint...



make beautiful flowers


There was the MCA spring tradition -  get children to help make a straw lady (who represents winter) and then burn her.

old tights, children and straw...

there she goes, winter's gone in a puff of smoke


To celebrate our successful funding application, Magda made an amazing shed cake. Looking forward to many happy days in our new shed.
