We could not be prouder of the children this week!  Despite missing out on the excitement of a live audience, they took their roles very seriously and sang beautifully on the stage in the big hall for our Baby Jesus show!  We can’t wait for you to see the end result and, while you are waiting for the video, here is a quick peek behind the scenes…

On Wednesday, the festivities continued with Christmas jumper day and even Stanley the Sloth wore a jumper thanks to Mrs Morris’ quick thinking!

In other news, our new Numberblocks display is now up on the wall.  As you probably know, we absolutely love Numberblocks in Nursery – we often watch this fantastic CBeebies show when we are getting ready for hometime and they often feature in our play.  Can you spot your Numberblock?  If you would like to watch Numberblocks at home or try some of the interactive activities, go to https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/shows/numberblocks

And finally, with Christmas fast approaching, the class post office has been a hive of activity with last minute parcels and letters being stamped and stickered and sent off around the world! Let’s hope we haven’t missed the last posting dates 😉

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

We have been very busy practising our songs for our Christmas show next week and, despite the disappointment we all feel in not being able to have a live audience this year, the excitement is building nonetheless!

We have been spending lots of time talking about the Christmas story and retelling it in our own words; learning about Mary & Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem and the birth of baby Jesus in the stable.

The classroom is also beginning to look decidedly festive! We decorated our Christmas tree, practised wrapping presents and wrote each other lots of Christmas cards.

We also made these beautiful stained glass stars to decorate the Nursery windows!

And finally, we found time to make our own wormery!  The children helped to layer the worm house with soil and sand, collected leaves for the worms to eat and carefully dug up some worms from the garden.
