Celebrations

 As our first term in school comes to an end, we have been learning about different celebrations.

The children have learnt about Diwali and Hanukkah, both festivals of light. They have been learning songs to celebrate the festivals. Click on the links below to sing along with your child.

Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel

Diwali is here

At the start of the Christmas season we had a visit from the Nativity Prop Box, where the children were introduced to the Christmas story through props.

In the classroom, the role play area was changed to Santa's Workshop. It has been full of elves, making and wrapping presents and writing to Santa.

The children have been very creative, using IT and clay to create some seasonal art.

We are so proud of the Reception children for their wonderful performance of the Nativity story. 

The children have made a great start to the term, and deserve a much needed break. 

Happy New Year to you all!

Joris and his yummy cookies!

Joris has been super bust at home! He has been working hard with his phonics and holding a sentence. I love that in between learning about Chanukah and his Maths he found time to bake yummy cookies! Joris also shared with me that he has his Christmas decorations up at home - do you have yours up yet? Our Elves are currently in quarantine so they will look forward to seeing you on Monday 14th December. It looks like Joris' elf made him breakfast!

Happy Thursday everyone! If you want to appear on the blog, please ask your class teacher!
