This week we’ve been busy rehearsing for our very own nativity performance and we also had the wonderful opportunity to see The Little Mermaid at the King’s Theatre. The children loved it. We enjoyed singing along, clapping, cheering, and soaking up every magical moment. Travelling by bus with friends added to the adventure, filling the journey with laughter and excited chatter.

Our learning didn’t stop there. We were delighted to welcome Catriona from PATHS, who taught a fantastic lesson to support our calming strategy, “Doing the Turtle.” The children are becoming very confident in recognising when it’s time to pause, take a breath, and make calm choices.

In literacy, we continue to practise our sounds and common words. We have been working on becoming word detectives to read and write familiar words. We also enjoyed some learning experiences based on The Jolly Postman. Your support at home makes a huge difference, thank you! Please continue encouraging your child to read, spell, and use their words with confidence.

In the playroom, we have been learning all about the Post Office. The children have been exploring how it works by posting parcels, weighing them, and sorting them just like real postal workers. They have also loved building vehicles to help deliver parcels around the community, using their imagination and problem-solving skills to bring their ideas to life.

Finally, please keep an eye out for upcoming requests for costume items for the nativity. The excitement is building, and we can’t wait to share our performance with you soon!
