We have had a wonderful week reading Christmas stories, making Christmas crafts, dancing at our party and finished off with a wonderful Christmas lunch.

Wishing everyone a wonderful and restful holiday 🎄

This afternoon the Nursery children joined us for a Christmas story called ‘Christmas Gingerbread’ by Janet Winter.

We worked with partners to complete a range of different literacy and numeracy activities related to the book.

It was great to see so many children working together and helping each other.

Please visit again soon!

This week we have enjoyed:

• “Doing the Nativity. I loved singing the camel song”
• “Looking at shapes in maths. I liked drawing the Christmas pictures using shapes to draw around”
• “I liked doing our dress rehearsal because my big sister was there!”
• “I liked learning about food chains and different animals”
• “I liked watching ‘The Snowman’ and drawing him”

We are looking forward to our final week of Christmas parties, a pantomime show and a tasty Christmas lunch!

Our ELC Christmas shows are finished! We hope you all enjoyed our performances on Tuesday and today.

Like we said at the show all the ideas came from the children, they helped make the backdrop and parts of the costumes – please see our floorbook for the story of this!

A huge thank you to all who came to watch us!

On Monday we welcomed our parents in for our final Book Week themed session. Everyone enjoyed watching Meg McLaren read the story of ‘ The Station Mouse’ then we all participated in a step-by-step drawing lesson. We cut our our characters to make puppets and used these to retell the story. Our next steps would be creating a word bank together to describe our character and then write some sentences about him.

Which book did you enjoy the most?

Christmas has landed at ELC!

We have been busy doing lots of Christmas crafts  dressing up activities, reading  and singing for our ELC show!

We have also had a cheeky elf visit our nursery, we look for him everyday to see what he has been up to!

We cannot wait to see you all next week at our ELC shows on Tuesday and Thursday!
