Hope you all had a fantastic Christmas!

Did anyone look at the Santa website?

Just a reminder of the fantastic Santa website if you haven't had chance to look (see link below).  It really is worth taking a look.  The message is great if you include photos :-)

Calendars

The children had fun making calendars today.  I think tomorrow we'll take down the displays and the children can bring home their Christmas creations.  Get ready to make room in your houses!

Sam leaving at the end of this week.

Just to let you all know, it is Sam's last day on Friday.  He is off to pastures new at the start of next year and we wish him well.  Chris and I will miss him, as I'm sure all the children will too.  xx

Week beginning December 13th is week 1

Number 7

We were going through numbers yesterday and found that the number 7 is one which some of the children aren't familiar with.  We now have a number 7 on our wall, on which the children have drawn 7 dots, which we use to remind the children of the number.  If you spot any number 7s whilst at home or out and about, it might be a good idea to bring them to your child's attention. 

Fantastic website for a message from Santa

You can make a personal video, including photos of your child.  Its lovely :-).

Mmmmm, chocolate!

We made some special treats for mummies and daddies today.  I won't go into detail, but YUM!!!

More Christmas creations

We made some more pictures today.

Here are some photos of our Christmas displays.  Don't they look great?  The children have done really well.

I've got my phone back!

No mobile at the moment

Just to let you all know, I lost my phone in Preston on Saturday.  It has been found, but I won't get it back until Monday or Tuesday.  If you need to contact us, please call either Chris' mobile or our house phone.  Thanks.

Week beginning December 6th is week 3

Snow!

We had great fun in the snow this morning!  The children picked it up, threw it in the air and just generally had a good time. 

Norad tracks Santa

There is a fantastic website that the children might enjoy (adults will definitely!!).

Have a look and see what you think!

Fireman Sam

Joel's mummy told us today that Fireman Sam will be at the Grand Theatre on January 15th if anyone is interested :-)

Christmas creations

Yesterday, the children did lots of painting.  They painted some lolly sticks to be used in todays activity, a large piece of paper, covering it in lots of shades of green (now a Christmas tree!) and they each made a beautiful snowy picture, using white paint and glitter. 

Today, the children made Christmas cards, using the painted lolly sticks from yesterday, and some lovely decorations for the Christmas tree at home.
