Final week of the year and the children have been busy in Santa’s Post office.  Wrapping presents for each other, sorting money and recognising coins.  The excitement of the season has been evident throughout the playroom with the children counting down to Christmas and still singing our concert songs.  We’ve been working on our mark making skills by writing Christmas cards for each other and delivering them from the post box.

Curricular areas: Literacy, Numeracy.

The children worked collaboratively on a process art project and made their very own Christmas tree. They are very proud of the outcome.
curricular areas: expressive arts.

We were treated to a fantastic performance of Beauty and the Beast Panto and the children thoroughly enjoyed joining in with the songs and dancing. “Oh yes they did!”

All that’s left to say is Have a fantastic festive season from all the ladies at Mauchline ECC 🎄

Indoors, we welcomed our grown ups for our Christmas Stay and Play.🎄  We loved inviting everyone in and showing what fun we have in nursery. At the bottom of the playroom, we have loved our Post Office, exploring letter formation and mark making. We enjoyed making Christmas cards and play dough at the art area, exploring the gloop was also a highlight.
