We have updated our home corner to include a Christmas Tree, which children love to redecorate every day. Our writing table has become a Christmas Post Office, and we&#8217;ve been using our developing writing skills to write christmas cards and lists to post in our mini post box. We even have a new friend called Elfy, who has started bringing us a letter every day. We wonder what it will spell out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fun activities like this are a great opportunity for children to develop their creativity and social skills, and help them find real purpose and motivation for the writing and reading skills they are beginning to build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
