13th - 17th December

Last week we were busy getting ready for Christmas! Our role-play area was turned into Santa's Grotto and we had our own class Christmas tree that we could take turns to decorate everyday. We also baked some yummy mince pies, made Christmas cards and even did some sewing!

Have a look at what we have been up to!

Dressing up fun!

The Nativity!

The children performed The First Nativity to their friends and family on Friday 10th December. The children all did so well and I am so very proud of them! Well done reception class!

Take a look below at some of the children dressed in their nativity costumes.

For the past few weeks we have been busy getting ready for the nativity. The children are doing brilliantly and looking forward to performing it in front of their families on Friday.

Last week we were learning about post workers and how they help us. The role-play area was turned into a Post Office and the children enjoyed writing and delivering letters to each other.

When helping your child to practice their nativity lines, please encourage them to speak as loudly as possible.

Many thanks,
