Christmas

Hello everyone,

Last week we have been very busy decorating our yummy Christmas suprises. We are really good at using the rolling pins. we have been making our Christmas cards with lots of finger prints and sparkles. On Monday we really enjoyed watching the nativity puppet show. It was great way to understand the nativity story. The children then went on to tell the nativity story in the small world area with the nativity scene. On Wednesday we had PE with Mr Treble and we played a variety of Christmas games including a Christmas dance. The children really enjoyed playing the Santa key game. On Thursday a group went swimming. We are doing brilliant at singing the Christmas carol songs along with other Christmas songs. Throughout the week we have enjoyed sharing a wide collection of Christmas stories. We have also been making some Christmas decorations with corks and the glue gun.  We have also been doing some Christmas Yoga this week along with tinsel dancing which has been great fun. We have also been Christmas printing a bag to put our Christmas goodies into. It was lovely to see so many of our families at the Christmas breakfast. We all had a wonderful time. 

This week we are going to be continuing with our Christmas decorations and some children will be finishing off their Christmas treats. On Tuesday morning we are going to school to watch the Key Stage 1 Christmas Nativity  dress rehearsal. On Wednesday lunchtime we have got our Christmas Lunch. On Friday morning we have got our Christmas party. We will be playing lots of Christmas party games. We will continue sharing lots of Christmas stories. Please do bring in your favourite Christmas stories. We have got some onion sets to plant in the garden as well this week.
