This week we have taken a good look at The Elves and The Shoemaker story.

Lots of our activities have been based around shoes and making.

We  had some Christmas colouring at the end of the week, along with a viewing of our school Christmas show – I hope you have all received the link to view it at home!

Our number work included measuring our footprints – drawing around our feet/ cutting out and measuring the length of the footprint.

Some fine motor work threading around the footprints…

and for those a little more advanced learning how to tie a shoelace!

Outside we had Christmas elves swimming in the water – quite a job to catch them in the time allowed!

Our formal writing is coming along well – the class are very good at concentrating and staying focused.

In assembly the children listened to the Christmas story. We learnt about the manger.  We were given bundles of hay on our way back from assembly. Each time someone did something kind they were chosen to take their hay bundle into the hall to fill the manger and write their name on a heart for the wall display.

We forgot to take lots of photos at the Christmas party but here are the children enjoying their lovely snack boxes. Thank you all so much for providing them along with super party outfits.

We have had a great term. Thank you for all your support and help. The children are doing very well and are a pleasure to spend our time with each day.  Happy Christmas to you all. Enjoy a well earned rest and a magical Christmas with your little ones.
