Jingle Bells

Christmas Eve is here it’s time to go to bed

As we climb the stairs, nod our sleepy heads

Take our stockings off and hang them in a row

Then jump quickly into bed and off to sleep we go

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells

Jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride on a one horse open slay

Hey Jingle Bells Jingle Bell

Jingle all the way

Hurrah for dear old Santa Claus, hurrah for Christmas day

I’m a little snowman

To the tune of I’m a little teapot

I’m a little snowman round and fat

Here’s my scarf and here’s my hat

When the snow is falling on the ground

Roll me over and make me round

Christmas Pudding 

To the tune of Frere Jacques 

Christmas pudding, Christmas pudding

Steaming hot, steaming hot

Sprinkle on some sugar, sprinkle on some sugar

Eat the lot, eat the lot

When Santa got stuck up the Chimney

When Santa got stuck up the chimney

He began to shout

You girls and boys won’t get any toys if you don’t pull me out

My beard is black, there’s soot in my sack, my nose is tickly too

When Santa got stuck up the chimney achoo achoo achoo.

Snowflakes Snowflakes

To the tune of twinkle twinkle

Snowflakes, Snowflakes dance around

Snowflakes, Snowflakes touch the ground

Snowflakes, snowflakes in the air,

Snowflakes, snowflakes everywhere

Snowflakes, Snowflakes dance around

Snowflakes, snowflakes touch the ground

Father Christmas

To the tune of Frere Jacques

Father Christmas, Father Christmas

He got stuck, he got stuck

Coming down the chimney, coming down the chimney

What back luck, what bad luck

Where is Santa, where is Santa

Here I am, here am I

Merry Merry Christmas, Merry Merry Christmas

HO HO HO, HO HO HO

We wish you a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year

The Statutory Consultation on Early Learning and Childcare in East Ayrshire Council is now open

 

Education authorities have a statutory duty under the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 to consult with a representative group of parents and carers with children under school age in their area about how they should make early learning and childcare available.

 

We have created two surveys for parents, carers and prospective parents and carers residing in East Ayrshire in order to hear their views on early learning and childcare in our authority. The surveys will be open for 3 weeks from the 31st May.

 

The views of parents and carers are important to us and will be used to inform the future delivery of early learning and childcare in East Ayrshire Council so please take 5 minutes to complete this survey if you are a parent or carer of a child or children currently accessing funded early learning and childcare: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/1C7NKT/

 

Or, if you are a parent or carer of a baby or young child or a prospective parent or carer not yet accessing early learning and childcare please take two minutes to share your views with us using this link: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/SLIBOJ/

 

We will also be seeking the views of children as part of the Statutory Consultation.

 

If you would like more information about the Statutory Consultation please contact EarlyYears-Admin@east-ayrshire.gov.uk.

 

Your support with this important exercise is much appreciated.

Please see a link below regarding bookbug sessions on 27th June for children in 3-5s
