Christmas preparations

This week has been another busy week, Thank you for all the parents and grandparents who where able to come along to our stay and play session, we all really enjoyed the morning and hopefully you got to see what your children get to do throughout the day in nursery and reception.
This week we have made a Santas workshop in reception which children are wrapping presents for Santa, dressing up and writing their letters to him in.

We have also had fun putting up our joint Christmas tree where at the moment children are busily making decorations for.
As a group activity we where really excited to write our Christmas lists to Father Christmas on stockings, children really enjoyed this activity and wanted to write item after item on their lists which really help pencil control and writing phonetically.
We have also been busy baking this week both cakes and salt dough decorations. Children always enjoy baking and always want to do more. 
The Christmas play has been a big part of this weeks activities as we have been practising in the hall lots and can't wait till next week when you all come to see our proformance.
