We have been finding out about the Post Office. During our Literacy studies we read the story The Jolly Christmas Postman. It’s Christmas Eve and the Jolly Postman is delivering greetings to various fairy-tale characters – there’s a card for Baby Bear, a game appropriately called ‘Beware’ for Red Riding Hood from Mr Wolf, a get-well jigsaw for hospitalised Humpty Dumpty and three more surprise envelopes. The children could take each colourful gift out of its envelope and discuss what  the well-known fairy-tale characters were sending to one another for Christmas!

 

We played Post office games; I sent a letter to my love.., and pass the parcel.

After reading the story and discussing the different fairy-tale and nursery rhyme characters, the  boys and girls made a card to post in our post box. They had to fold the paper, draw a picture, write their name and add kisses.

We made post office mind maps;

 

We dressed up and role played in the Post office imaginative area. We used play coins, tills and phone. We made cards and parcels and wrote letters to Santa. We posted them in our post box. We delivered the post too. Kendal made a sign to show only 4 children could play in the Post Office at any time.

    

   

 Some of the boys and girls also used the post bags to put the children’s registration ticket into and post the on the door after snack.

 

We tried the “At the Post Office game on the computer. We are developing our listening skills and ICT skills. We had to listen to the instruction and click on the item using the mouse.

 

We made a Christmas card in nursery to post to our families. On Monday and Tuesday we walked to our local Post Office to buy a stamp and post our cards in the poat box.
