Christmas activities!

I do hope all the children enjoyed the trip to the garden centre, we all did, and the children have been doing some lovely pictures with adults scribing for them about the decorations they liked best. These have been done on leaf shapes and are hanging on our learning tree, do have a look.
This coming week we have a picture board of the favourite decorations, which we will be using to help us choose the design of our Christmas card. (CEL, thinking critically)

We will also be looking and learning about the nativity story, you could ask your child if they can tell you about the story of baby Jesus. We will be cutting out pictures to make our own nativity pictures to bring home. (PD- using tools, CL recall of stories)
Some of the children enjoyed seeing the crowns at the garden centre, so we thought it would be fun to make crowns as well next week.

Last week we made a learning picture, when we asked the children how we could look after the birds in the winter, they came up with some lovely ideas, so in the afternoons we will be making some bird food and tying up apples for the birds to eat. (UW)

Looking forward to seeing you at our annual family breakfast on Tuesday.

Don't forget to sign up for the parent consultations.
If you have time do go and look at the Christmas tree festival at St Georges church, last week the children made some lovely decorations for a pre school tree and it looks super .Our theme is birds.
