The children have been learning some Christmas songs to perform to their families and we decided to take to the stage to have a little practice of using our big singing voices. We hope that you enjoy this video clip which should put you in the mood for Christmas.
Simply click on ‘Play’ to see the morning children practising one of their songs.
Rohan’s Dad enjoyed looking at our “Children in Need” photos when we all wore spots. He left a comment for everyone on one of our photos:
“Well done Rohan and everyone at the nursery. Glad to see you all joining in and having fun :-).”
That was a fun day. Thanks for your comment.
Christmas is definitely fast approaching and the children are getting quite excited, with talk of Santa everywhere we turn. At the start of this week we read the story of the nativity and there was great enthusiasm over the costumes in the role play area which helped the children talk about the Christmas story. The sheep and the donkey outfits have been particularly popular and baby Jesus has certainly been very well looked after.
The children also decorated the tree themselves at the start of the week and we’re sure you’ll agree that they made a good job of it. As you can see, Mary and a kind donkey took some time out from their busy schedule to help out.
Kelsie’s Mum made a lovely comment on her photo where she was making pot pourri bags for the Christmas Fayre: “how nice to see all the kids enjoying there work and learning new skills”.
We hope that our photos and comments do give you a greater insight into what the children have been doing in Nursery as this is the main purpose of the blog. Thanks to everyone who makes the effort to make a comment – we really appreciate your input.
We are glad to see that you’re enjoying the pictures of your favourite foods that you made as a home activity.
Corey’s Mummy sent him a message on his photo, saying “hi corey its mummy that looks really yummy good work -_-“
We agree – Corey’s plate of spaghetti with tomato and basil sauce looks very tasty. Thanks to everyone for helping their children with this activity at home. It’s so valuable to talk about our learning in Nursery at home.
Our Christmas Fayre will be held in school from 6.00 – 8.00 p.m. on Wednesday of this week. Nursery children have made little pot pourri bags to sell on the night so why not come along and buy one for a gift? There will be lots of other stalls and activities to enjoy for the whole family including a visit from Santa. Here you can see the children carefully selecting the pot pourri for their bags.
As part of our learning about the senses, lots of our children took part in our suggested home activity of creating their favourite foods on a paper plate. We have had lots of good discussions about everyone’s ideas of what tastes good and are building up an impressive display in the corridor of the children’s work. Thanks go to all the families who encouraged their children to take part in this activity. We hope you enjoy looking at their ideas.
Now that some of the children’s calendars are getting finished and being sent home, we are finding some happy customers.
Madison’s Mum certainly seems happy in her recent comment: “the calanders are lovely,and a good idea for raising money,and madison enjoyed doing it x”
The children are enjoying decorating them and they quite like posing for the photos too. Don’t worry if you’ve not got yours home yet – it’s a busy production line but they will all be ready in plenty of time for the end of term.
