Week of 3rd December 2012

We had a lovely trip to the garden centre, all the children enjoyed themselves and we have come back full of ideas for things to make for Christmas. Each group had a challenge of objects to find whilst we walked round, which they all enjoyed taking part in.

This week we start our Christmas activities and celebrations.
We will be enjoying the Christmas story, playing with a Nativity scene and dressing up. We will also be making Christmas decorations to display on a tree at the chirtsmas tree festival at St Georges Church, Fordington. As well as some to take home for our own tree.

On Wednesday and Thursday we will be celebrating St Nicholas day, a popular Christmas Celebration in Germany and Holland.
