We would like to thank everyone who donated prizes to the Nursery red hampers as part of our school and Nursery fundraising activity. Your generosity has overwhelmed us as we were able to make four large hampers from all your donations. It was amazing the range of red gifts that we received. The prize winning sheets were sold by Willow, Joe H., Fay and Eden so well done to those prize winners. Mollie was also lucky enough to win the bonus book hamper. We hope that you enjoy your lovely hampers and thank all those who contributed through donations and by selling squares. We appreciate your support.

Christmas Comments
Emma’s Mum has been enjoying our photos of the party:
“Emma loved meeting Santa. Thank you to everyone involved. xx”
“Fun and games. Looks like everyone is having fun. Emma said she’d had great fun.”
Emma and her Mum enjoyed Eileen’s Family Learning Christmas activities too:
“We had a great time making the Christmas Card, Tree decoration and most of all our Rudolph sandwich. He was lucky to make it home in one piece as it was blowing a gale when we left!! Thank you Eileen your ideas are great.”
Those reindeer sandwiches have been very popular – I wonder if anyone will make one to leave for Santa on Christmas Eve?
Party Spirit
The party spirit was just as evident in the afternoon Christmas party as the morning one and here are the photos that show it. As you can see, they joined in the dancing and games with enthusiasm and were also lucky enough to get a visit from Santa. As with the photos of the morning children, please click then click again to make the photos clearer.
Party Time
Music, dancing, games and party food made for a fun Christmas party last week in Nursery. The children from the Rainbow and Sunshine Rooms played happily and confidently together and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. It must have been the children’s super behaviour that brought the arrival of Santa despite his heavy workload at the moment. Thank you Santa – we all really appreciated your visit.
The photos below give you a taste of our morning party. Don’t they look wonderful in their party clothes? Photos of the afternoon party will follow soon.
Christmas Celebration
We hope that you are all looking forward to our Christmas celebration later this week. Afternoon parents can join us on Wednesday (17.12.14) at 2.30 and morning parents on Thursday (18.12.14) at 11.30. The Nursery door will be opened for entry through the usual entrance and parents/carers can park in the John Bell car park.
We are keeping our Christmas celebration informal to encourage the children to enjoy a relaxed and happy performance of the songs they have been learning. Rev. McGougan has kindly agreed to join us again, despite a jam-packed diary, and we are delighted that many of our families have indicated that they would like to be part of our celebration. As you can see, the children are practising to make sure you enjoy their songs. We look forward to seeing you later this week.
Sticky Kids Christmas Show
Great fun and laughter was had by all at the “Sticky Kids” show this week. It was lovely to join children from other local nurseries in a super Christmas celebration of singing and dancing. As you can see, several of our children showed great confidence to go on stage as part of the show and everyone sang enthusiastically along with all the songs. Thank you to all those families who contributed to the children’s calendar enterprise project which paid for this show. We really appreciate your support and the children all had a brilliant time.

Reindeer Sandwiches
Thanks must go again to Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, for providing super Christmas activities for children and their families to enjoy together. There were reindeer sandwiches, Christmas cards and decorations on the go in the Family Room and they all looked like good fun. It’s lovely to see so many families participating, despite everyone being so busy at this time of year, and we really appreciate Eileen offering so many sessions. Even Steve the Star from the Sunshine Room made an appearance and seemed to be very interested in everything. We are already discussing the next Family Learning activity so watch this space early next term.

Christmas Enterprise
Thank you to everyone who has placed an order for calendars. The children have been working hard to make all the orders to help raise money for their Christmas party and the “Sticky Kids” show and some calendars are now being sent home. We hope that, at £2.50, you feel that this is a bargain present for family members and we are delighted that we currently have orders worth over £250 which will pay for the show and help towards the cost of our party. We would like to thank you very much for supporting the children to take part in this enterprise project.
Christmas Is Coming
As you may have noticed, there’s a feel of Christmas in Nursery already as the children are beginning to chat about letters to Santa and to learn some Christmas songs. We have also put a post box in each cloakroom area for the children to post cards if they want to bring them for their friends. Here you can see some very busy and excited children helping to decorate the trees in Nursery.

Christmas Comments
Some of our families have been looking at the photos of our Christmas parties:
“It was lovely that we were invited to see Santa deliver the presents. Sophie loved her book, we often borrow it from the Library so its nice to have our own copy now, thank you very much!”
“Charlie had a great day! I don’t think he suspected Santa! Haha xxx”
We hope that everyone enjoyed their day.
