Sticky fingers is our baby & toddler group. We normally meet on Thursday mornings during term time from 10.00-11.30am at St Augustine’s Church Hall.
With us not meeting because of Coronavirus, here’s a suggestion of something you could do t home…
This Sunday is Mother’s Day, one day of the year where we can make a special effort to show mums how much they are loved every day of the year. A chance to say thank you for all they do - to say thank you for all their love. You may want to think of and have a chat about Grans too, or other women in your life who have a mothering role for you or your little ones.
Our story today is about a mum called Jochebed, and the lengths she went to because of how much she loved her son.
See photo for story.
