In keeping with September’s theme of ‘Insects and Creepy Crawlies’, the Penguins painted their own butterfly wings and got to fly around the classroom.

Every year we usually make mochi dumplings at Tsukimi time. Sadly this year we could not due to Coronavirus. Instead we made dumplings from a special paper clay.
