What’s in the Box?
Sometimes in Nursery we play a game called “Who’s in the Box?” but this week we played a guessing game of “What’s in the Box?” because when the afternoon children came to sit on the carpet, a mystery box was sitting waiting for them.
There were lots of ideas about what could be inside – a slide, a train, lots and lots of stickers, an elephant and even a Loch Ness monster. It was very exciting opening the box especially when we found another box inside the big one. Someone even thought it might be a trick. However, once the shiny red metal started to show and a wheel appeared from all the wrapping paper, we realised that it was a new bike for the garden.
Once Miss Kerr had put it together for us, everyone was really pleased with our mystery parcel. It’s certainly been good to have something new to try out in the garden, thanks to extra money raised from last term’s enterprise project. Little did we anticipate what the demand would be for the children’s calendars when we planned to raise money for our Christmas party but it’s certainly brought a smile to everyone’s faces now that we have been able to buy a new bike too.
Christmas Preparations
Nursery continues to be a very busy place as we practise for our concert and delve into the glitter tub to make decorations and cards. The calendars are also almost finished so everyone who placed an order should have them by the end of this week. Thank you so much for you support in this activity: we have been quite amazed by the number of orders but the children have risen to the challenge and patiently fulfilled all requests.
We are pleased to say that the children’s pot pourri bags seemed to be popular at the Christmas Fayre and most of them were sold. It was also lovely to see so many of you attending this very successful event. A magnificent sum of £1000 was raised on the night so thank you to all who contributed.
Busy Elves
If Santa gets stuck for helpers at this hectic time of year, we feel sure that our children would make very good little elves as they have been working so hard over the last week or two. With two enterprise activities running at the same time, Nursery has been a busy and exciting place.
Thank you to all those families who have ordered calendars to help fundraise for our Christmas party. Some children have shown great patience to make the large numbers ordered and we hope that you will be proud of their end product. Most calendars are now ready to pick up: you will get a note soon reminding you of the cost, if you have not yet paid, and they can be collected whenever you wish.
With the Christmas Fayre on Wednesday 7th December, we have also had lots of children keen to make pot pourri bags for the HFA event: we had quite a little production line going at times. We hope that some Nursery families will be able to attend the fayre to support the hard work carried out by all the children
and parents of our school. As you will have seen from the letter home, there will be a wide range of activities to enjoy and we have heard a rumour that Santa might be available for photo opportunities.
