HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ONE AND ALL !

We had a fabulous last week - the Christmas sing song went very well with lots of parents enjoying the children's rendition of 'Mary's Knitting'.
They had made snowmen biscuits and we served them alongside the mince pies- the slide show of the autumn term was enjoyed by parents, children and staff - it is lovely to see all we have achieved in one term !

The Xmas party was brilliant if a little exhausting ! - Father Xmas made a visit and we played traditional party games

The staff team will now get a well deserved rest !

Happy Xmas everyone - we are back on Monday 6th January 2014

getting ready for Christmas- nearly there !

After last weeks visit by the reception class to us, they returned the favour and we went to visit them and listen to their nativity songs. We had a lovey time - playing a game of hunt the donkey and having a play in class 1.

Finishing of the Xmas cards we also made pomanders and played with the fake snow and Arctic animals.

Making chocolate reindeer's proved very popular and they did turn out brilliantly

AT Forest school we had banana custard using the Kelly kettle followed by a real fire on Friday when we cooked crumpets and ate they =m with jam or butter - around the camp fire !

CHRISTMAS PREPARATIONS

Fake snow and animals from icy climates were in the small world play this week.

Reindeer foot print Christmas cards and Father Xmas hand print cards were made, enveloped and taken to the post office by the Thursday crew- where they bought stamps and then each child posted their card home in the post box. We then ate few chocolate buttons for a treat and walked back in the wild and windy weather!

The reception children came over and we performed our 'Mary's Knitting songs to them - a lot of them remembered the songs from their time at playschool so we had a good rendition together.
Then we played making 'snow' with the parachute & cotton wool balls and it was lovely to watch the joy on their faces. We go back over to them next week.

Our student worked with the children to make some excellent sweets - which they took home to enjoy.
