As well as our egg box decorations, some of the children used a range of craft materials to design their own stars for our Christmas trees. They have shown creativity and originality in their designs and we think that they add something special to our trees which looked wonderful on display at the Christmas Fayre.
With the school Christmas Fayre on Thursday of this week, we have been making chocolate shapes to sell on our stall. Discussions about what would happen when we put chocolate in the microwave then the fridge developed the children’s learning about science and we also used numeracy skills to count the squares of chocolate as we prepared our chocolate shapes. Of course there was also the opportunity for a little tasting as some of the children enjoyed the age old tradition of “cleaning” the bowl at the end.
We hope that lots of Nursery children and their families will be able to come to the Christmas Fayre on Thursday from 6.30 until 8.00 in school. We can certainly recommend the chocolate shapes to anyone who has a little money to spend – at 50p a bag we think that they are a tasty buy.
We would like to thank everyone who has donated prizes to the Nursery hampers as part of our school and Nursery fundraising activity. As you can see, our hampers are full of tasty goodies and will make super prizes for some lucky winners.
As the Christmas Fayre approaches (Thursday, December 7th), we ask that any final donations are brought in as soon as possible so that we can wrap our hampers ready for the prize winners. Thank you to all those who contributed through donations and by selling squares. We appreciate your support
