Lovely Comments

Isaac W.’s family enjoyed the photos of him making a pizza for snack:

“Isaac had great fun doing this. He enjoys doing it at home as well. X”

Well done Isaac for using these skills at home and at Nursery. It’s great to hear how independent you are.

Mrs. Irving also left a comment about our visit to the Friendship Club last week:

“What a lovely welcome our children received from the ladies of the Friendship Club. Feedback was wonderful with many of the ladies telling the children how it felt like Christmas had now began! Well done children, we are very proud of you!”

We certainly are proud of them all. How lovely that the ladies felt that Christmas had now begun, hearing our little singers.

Friendship Club Visit

This week we were very lucky to be invited back for a visit by the ladies and gentlemen of the Friendship Club in the Old Parish Church hall. As we had thoroughly enjoyed our previous visit, we were keen to make a return trip to entertain everyone with a selection of our Christmas songs. This group of children showed great confidence in an unfamiliar situation and did a super job of providing entertainment to those enjoying a Christmas lunch. It was wonderful to see young and old chatting together and we hope that those at the Friendship Club enjoyed their little visitors. The children were also very interested in the nativity scene outside the church so we spent a little time there talking about it. Thank you to everyone at the Friendship Club for your warm welcome and of course for the delicious snack. We hope to see you again in the future.

Christmas Cutting

The children have been so busy in the art and craft areas lately that we now have super decorations everywhere. Have you noticed the recent addition of a Christmas tree in the corridor? Great cutting skills are evident from the girls and boys from the Raindrop Room on this piece of work. I wonder if they can find their own bauble?

Christmas Craft

Those in the Rainbow Room have been very busy with Christmas craft just like those in the Raindrop Room. Have a look around the room to see lots of their great work.

Christmas Art And Craft

The Raindrop Room has had a very busy art and craft area over the past week as they have begun to create a variety of Christmas decorations and cards. Here is a selection of their work which will come home at the end of term so keep a space in your home for some lovely work.

The Nativity

As Christmas approaches, we have been developing the children’s awareness of the Christmas story and the role play area in the Rainbow Room has been transformed into a nativity scene. Through play they are showing an understanding of the story and many children are keen to take on different roles.

Christmas Post

The Christmas post boxes are in place in Nursery. If your child wants to give out Christmas cards to friends, they can post them here and we will make sure that they are distributed in their trays.

Christmas Preparations

As well as those in the Rainbow Room, the children in the Raindrop Room have been busy decorating their room for Christmas. They decided that they wanted to wrap their own parcels to put at the bottom of the tree and showed good fine motor control to do this successfully. The decorated tree now stands in the role play area as part of a cosy Christmas scene.

Christmas Decorations

Christmas arrived on Friday afternoon in the Rainbow Room when the Christmas tree appeared and the children worked together to decorate it. Well done boys and girls – we think that you did a super job.

Christmas Hampers

Thank you very much to all parents and staff who have contributed to our Christmas hampers and also to those who have returned their raffle squares sheets. We hope to receive more donations to add to our hampers in the next week or two so that we have some lovely prizes when our numbers are drawn at our Christmas singing event on 16^th December. Squares can still be returned next week too. Thank you for your support.
