A fun time was had by all at our Christmas parties with something for everyone, be it games, dancing or party food. The children were also delighted to have a visit from Santa, despite it being such a busy time of year for him. Thank you Santa – we all really appreciated your visit.
The photos below give you a taste of our morning party and photos of the afternoon party will follow soon.

Well Done
Bethany’s family has been looking at our Christmas celebration photos:
“Was fair proud watching Bethany sing the Christmas songs and going up to santa this year. Her confidence has came on a lot. All the boys and girls done amazing. Well done”
It is lovely to see the children so confident. We still have photos from their party and will post them here soon.
Afternoon Performance
As promised, here are some photos of the afternoon children just before their Christmas celebration. Just like the morning children, they showed confidence in their performance and sang beautifully for their families despite having depleted numbers due to absences. Well done to everyone and thank you so much to all those who provided a wonderful audience for the children.
Proud Family
We have a lovely comment from Enid’s family about the children’s Christmas performance:
“We were so proud of Enid’s singing, full of joy & confidence. Such a pleasure to watch the children all enjoying themselves. Thank you”
We felt very proud of all the children too as most were not daunted by the large audience and showed themselves to be the ‘confident individuals’ and ‘effective contributors’Â that we aim for. Thank you to all our families for making this a wonderful occasion for the children.
Christmas Celebration
We hope that, like us, you were very proud of all the children as they behaved and sang so beautifully in front of a big audience at our Christmas celebration yesterday. Huge thanks go to Mr. Bill Malone, Old Parish Church, and Mr. Palmer for joining us and to the many family members who helped to make this a special occasion for the children. Here are a few photos of the morning children as they prepared for their performance. We will post photos of the afternoon children soon.
Christmas Cards
Here is a small selection of the lovely Christmas cards that the children designed for their families. Yours will no doubt be taking pride of place in your home over the festive season.
Party Time
We would like to remind you that tomorrow, 19th December, will be party day for the morning and afternoon children. We look forward to seeing the children in their party clothes and you are welcome to join us at 11.15 or 2.20 to see Santa if you would like. Entrance will be by the Nursery door as normal.
Christmas Celebration
We hope that you are all looking forward to our Christmas celebration tomorrow, Monday 18th December. Morning parents can join us at 11.20 and afternoon parents at 2.20. The Nursery door will be opened for entry through the usual entrance and parents and family 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. Mr. Bill Malone, from the Old Parish Church, has kindly agreed to join us 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 have been practising to make sure that you enjoy their songs. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
Sunshine Sparkles
The Sunshine Room children have been enjoying lots of sparkles and glitter in their play over the last week or two so hopefully their families will have lots of festive pictures and cards to brighten up their homes.
Letter Tree
The beautiful decorations on our star tree have already been shared with you but, as you may have noticed, we also have a “Letter Tree” where each child used a range of craft materials to decorate the initial letter of their name. We absolutely love these creations and hope that they will be decorations that will hang on the children’s trees at home for years to come. I wonder if the children can spot their own work?
