OUR ADVENTURES THIS WEEK
On Monday we went on our monthly visit to the library. We listened extremely well to the story of Winnie the Witch and her cat Wilbur. Mrs Campbell had lots of props to help her tell the story and we loved looking at all the different coloured cats! It was great fun!!

It has been a very cold week, but we have loved getting outside to look for signs of winter. We saw lots of frost on the ground and frozen spider webs on the fence! We think Winter has definitely arrived! We even brought some big chunks of ice inside and put them in the water tray to see if they would melt. We decided that next week we are going to add some polar animals into our ice experiments!
We are in the process of changing our planning wall to the theme of “Christmas.” We have lots of exciting activities planned but we always love to hear ideas from our parents too! Please ask a member of our team if you would like to add an idea to our wall! We have started to make some festive pieces for our Christmas art gallery and we are working hard to rehearse our nativity show!
We have also been decorating our Christmas cakes for the Family Festive Fun Afternoon, don’t they look great??

This week we have set up a mini stage area with some microphones for the children to perform for their friends. What great fun we have had!! Our favourite winter song has been “Little Snowflake.” Please click on the link below to sing along at home. We might even add this song into our nativity show as we love it so much! 🙂

A very busy week as always in the nursery! It is lovely to see how well you are preparing for the festive period, your Christmas cakes look fantastic!!!!
It certainly has been cold and there are lots of signs of winter around the nursery outside area. I was lucky enough to pop in this week whilst you were singing little snowflake, I just love this song and you sang it so well!
