Our Learning this Week

Nursery 12^th December 2014

We have been very busy preparing for our Christmas concert this week. The children have been amazing and looked fantastic in their outfits so thank you for all your effort supporting your children with this.

We have been reading the Nativity story this week and playing with the Nativity characters. The children enjoyed the story and liked hearing about Baby Jesus.

Sparkle the Elf has been helping us do our best singing this week as well as getting in a tangle with our Christmas decorations!! I wonder what mischief and fun he will have for us next week?

I have a list of children’s names if you would like your child to send Christmas cards – please ask for a list if you need one.

A few reminders for next week:

Nursery will be having our Christmas party on Thursday 18^th December. Children can wear their party clothes for this and we will have party games and food.

Friday 19^th December will be the last day of term and the school will be finishing half day so there will be no afternoon session in Nursery. Morning Nursery will finish as normal at 11.20am.

The children will return to school after the Christmas break on Tuesday 6^th January 2015.

If you have any questions, please ask a member of Nursery staff.

Have a good weekend.
