Thank you letters
Christmas is a time when we have lots of be thankful for. Writing thank you cards and letters is great practice to encourage from a young age. Children can write thank you notes for presents, or even a special card for Granny thanking her for the delicious Christmas cake! These cards can be read out aloud as part of Boxing Day celebrations or perhaps at a meal time

Planning a Christmas walk
While we often look forward to cosy moments inside, don’t forget that Christmas is a great chance to get out and be active! There are lots of fun (and often free!) things you can do with your children this year. You can take a trip to the park and kids can enjoy collecting leaves, spotting wildlife or feeding the ducks. Alternatively, you can plan a trip to see a Christmas lights display or see some brilliant Christmas window displays.

Poems, Rhymes and Songs
It’s time for all the Christmas-themed songs and rhymes to be played! Why not teach your children your favourite Christmas song, poem or rhyme? What do you the different words and motifs mean? In return, they can then write and illustrate their own festive poem or song to share with you

Have fun with your friends and family and enjoy spending time together!!!!

Wishing you all a peaceful and joyful Christmas,

Mrs Pollock
