An Entertaining Burns Celebration

Carmen’s Mum has commented how much she enjoyed our Burns celebration:

“First I would like to say very well done to all the children. The singing was great. It was very entertaining. Secondly it was lovely to see the children in Tartan. This was Carmen’s first time wearing a kilt, she loved it.
Lovely photo. I’m going to send a copy of this photo to Carmen’s uncle who lives in Italy. He will show and explain to his sons why we celebrate Burns day, and what a haggis is!! Carmen loved tasting the iron brew. Might have to let the boys taste some Ironbrew when they come over!”

It’s lovely to hear that we’ll be helping Carmen’s family in Italy learn about Burns Day. They could always see the photos here on our blog if they have internet access at home. Maybe they could leave a comment to let us know what they think?

We Loved Our Snowmen

Some of our families have enjoyed seeing their children’s home activity on our blog:

“Bethany loved making this snowman picture but she was most upset there was no ‘big sister’ snowman and so added her own!”

“Carmen loved this task. She likes to cut and stick things down. As you can see her favourite colour is purple and pink ha ha”

Thank you to all our families for helping the children with their snowmen at home. It’s lovely to see so many of you taking part.

Learning About Winter

It sounds like Carmen is enjoying learning about winter as her Mum commented:

“Carmen is enjoying the winter topic. She loved designing her snowmen at home. She says it great fun. When we are about to set off for nursery in the morning I ask her what’s the weather like today Carmen and she tells me. When she saw the floods on the TV Carmen sayed to me ” mummy I wish I could help those people” I said and how would you help them Carmen she sayed ” mummy they could all come and stay at ours and have a sleepover until there house has dried up”. Aw how cute! So she understands how the bad weather affects people and that she cares!”

How kind of Carmen to think of others. We did talk about the floods and were pleasantly surprised by how much the children understood about them. We have also enjoyed seeing all the different snowmen arriving in Nursery and will hopefully put a few photos on the blog soon.

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.

Well Done Lewis

Those of you who were in Nursery last year will hopefully remember the carrots that you planted. Lewis obviously looked after his crop well as his family has left us this message:

“Lewis and I have just been harvested the carrots which we planted in March. What a lot of lovely carrots of all shapes and sizes. We are going to try them tomorrow at our second Christmas dinner now that Grandad is home from work at last.”

We hope that you all enjoy your second Christmas dinner especially those tasty carrots. Well done for looking after them so well.

Super Singers

Thank you to Rebecca’s Mum for her comment on one of the photos of the children’s singing this week:

“They look fair happy, what a good singing they all did”

It was lovely to see them happy and relaxed to perform. We also had great fun at our parties yesterday and hope to get photos up in the next few days for you all to see.

Cake Making

Sophie’s Mum enjoyed the photos of the children making cakes for their party:

“sophie.s looks like shes having loads of fun here she loves making cakes she helps mum at home with fairy cakes we will be making some on xmas eve”

I wonder if you’ll leave one of your cakes for Santa Sophie?

Star Performance

Thank you so much to all our families who supported the children today at our Christmas celebration. Carmen’s Mum has left all the boys and girls a lovely comment:

“WOW the concert was great today. Carmen’s Nonna and I really enjoyed it. The children were super. Lovely little singers. Well done to ALL the boys and girls for giving us a star performance. Very well done to all the teachers you all do a great job X”

The children were little stars and we were all very proud of them. We have some photos taken as they got ready to sing and will try to put them up on the blog soon.

Christmas Crafts

It was great to see that more children and their families were joining in the Christmas craft activities today. Sophie’s family made theirs on Friday and seemed to enjoy themselves as Mum has left us a comment:

“We had a lovely morning and Sophie and Thom were keen to their
Angel decorations on the tree as soon as we got home!
They look lovely.”

We’re glad that you were pleased with your creations and will try to put a few more photos up later in the week.

Wszystkiego najlepszego z okazji swiat bozego narodzenia

Sophie’s Mum has left us a message to say how much she enjoyed talking to the boys and girls about Christmas in Poland:

“Had a really lovely time with all the nursery kids. Was really nervous about that but it all went very well. It was really nice trying to teach them some of our polish traditions 😉 HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU ;-)and as we did Christmas Polish way I say it in Polish as well – WSZYSTKIEGO NAJLEPSZEGO Z OKAZJI SWIAT BOZEGO NARODZENIA 😉 x”

We would like to say Happy Christmas and thank you to Sophie’s Mum for all her help. We all thoroughly enjoyed her visit. If any of our families are looking at our blog from Poland we would like to say “Wszystkiego najlepszego z okazji swiat bozego narodzenia” to them too.
